Washington State History Museum Field Trip

What better place to start learning about our state's history than at the Washington State History Museum?! This is such a great resource, and right downtown! It's dark inside, so these are not the greatest pictures, but just to give you an idea:

The museum provided some great resources for our exploration - each group had a mission to explore a certain area, conduct a scavenger hunt and answer questions about that particular exhibit and time period.
