Education

THANK YOU to all who have brought their classes and groups to the
farmhouse.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer any group tours in 2012. We hope
that if staffing and funding can be increased we may be able to bring back
tours in 2013.

We hope to have some new education resources online so that you can use
the story of the Dyckman Farmhouse in your own classroom. In the
meantime, these books may assist you:

Picture Books:

The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton. A country house gets swallowed
up by the city being built around it.

The Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall. The changing of the seasons on an early
19th-century farm.

Little Girl in a Red Dress with Cat and Dog by Cynthia Von Buhler. A 19th
centur girl gets her portrait painted.

John, Paul, George and Ben by Lane Smith. A hilarious look at our
nation's founders.

For older readers:
