Groups rotate in a circular fashion throughout the day until all stations are complete. A break is given at midday for participants to eat sack lunches. The Trapper's Trading Post has toys, souvenirs, furs, gems and minerals for sale to those that bring pocket spending money. This tour is great for 3rd and 5th grade levels studying westward expansion and Native American customs & cultures, but can be geared for any age level.
