Third
grade classes are invited to the Museum to explore what it was like
to be a child during the early 1900s. Students are ushered into a
unique classroom for their time travel experience. The youngsters
view historic photos capturing the development and early growth of
the community. They dress up in period clothing, listen to turn of
the century music and play with toys and games from the past. Each
student is given a special book, The Way Pasadena Was, written
by local author Kathleen Thorne-Thomsen and published by the Pasadena
Museum of History. The colorful publication is full of photographs
and stories about Pasadena one hundred years ago. The book and the
program are designed to support the third grade curriculum standards
for the public schools.
