RULES AND INFORMATION FOR EDUCATION DAY
PARKING & ENTRANCE 1. Buses and cars are to park in the field across from the park entrance. Classes will walk across the road, under your supervision, though parking directors will be there. STOP at the gate and identify your school.
NAME TAGS 2. Everyone (students, teachers, and chaperones) must wear NAME TAGS with their name and the name of school. Name tags are the Teacher responsibility.
CHAPERONES 3. Bring one chaperone for every 10 students. Teachers direct their own class, using maps and information that we provide. Costumed participants on the field offer information and guidance.
BEHAVIOR 4.We expect students to be on their best behavior. If any should become boisterous and unruly we will ask that they leave. Please keep them on the field. This is NOT the day for hiking on the trails. There is too much else to do.
DISPLAYS 5. Students are NOT to handle the displays of the participants unless invited to do so. Most of the items are owned by private collectors and are quite valuable. Also, students are not to enter any unmanned booth or tavern.
LUNCH , DRINKS, & TRASH 6.Students may bring sack lunches. Lemonade will be given free of charge at Littlejohn’s Tavern. PLEASE clean up all trash after lunch. (Some classes bring large coolers with lunches and drinks of their choice. If you do this, have the name of your school or class on the cooler and you can store it behind Littlejohn’s). Some food booths offer small portions at reasonable prices. There is a water fountain behind the barn
RESTROOMS 7. Port-a-johns are located in the woods on both sides of the field. Follow the arrows that say “NECESSARIES”.
SOUVENIRS 8.Souvenirs and books will be sold at the GRCHA Gift Shop. Small groups of children, with a chaperone, are encouraged to visit it throughout the day rather than converging there just before leaving. Some merchants also offer inexpensive items. IF CHILDREN BUY TIN WHISTLES PLEASE ASK THEM NOT TO BLOW THEM AROUND THE ANIMALS OR NEAR REENACTORS WHO ARE TALKING TO STUDENTS.
MONUMENT & HERTZLER HOUSE 9. You may visit the tall monument memorializing George Rogers Clark and Tecumseh on the hillside beside the Hertzler House. The Hertzler House itself is off limits that day since it is of a later time period and will not be staffed.
LIGHTNING 10. In case of LIGHTNING, take your class to the Gathering House or to your bus, NOT under trees, until the threat passes.
