A partnership with Rockford Public Schools and a grant from the Kjellstrom Family Foundation will enable 120 students from East High School and Lincoln Middle School to visit Midway Village over the course of two days, beginning May 13th.
A costumed guide will lead them through activity stations, and language interpreters will be on hand for those who don’t speak English.
A centerpiece of the program is the Museum’s Victorian Village and the “Many Faces, One Community” exhibit, which explores many generations of immigrants to Rockford since the 1830s.
The Newcomers pilot program will also introduce students to exhibits on the founding of Rockford, the Rockford Peaches, local manufacturing, the history of the Sock Monkey, and the role Camp Grant played in World War II.
