This summer, give your children the chance to experience the magic of history with the Bedeque Area Museum’s special educational children’s tours! Step back in time to 1897-1898 and spend a day in L.M. Montgomery’s classroom. This immersive experience is designed to transport young minds to a bygone era, providing both education and entertainment.

What to Expect:

19th Century Classroom Re-enactment Your group will be treated to a 90-minute tour that includes a faithful re-enactment of a 19th-century classroom. Imagine the thrill of sitting at old-fashioned desks, using quill pens, and participating in lessons just as children did over a century ago. It’s an excellent way for kids to learn about the past in a hands-on, engaging manner.

Historic Recess After a lesson, it’s time for some fun! The historic recess segment lets children play traditional games that kids of L.M. Montgomery’s time would have enjoyed. From skipping ropes to marbles, these activities provide a delightful glimpse into the recreational pastimes of the late 1800s.
