A Drive to Sequoia National Park

March 29, 2013 by tchistorygal

I thoroughly prepared myself for a day of work. I was going to work on my quilt. but Mary called, and off we went to the Sequoia National Park. We started at Bravo Lake in Woodlake, admiring the Botanical Gardens. You have to climb to get to the lake as you walk through the gardens to the walking path around the lake. Bravo Lake, fed by the Kaweah River, Indian word, eah, meaning river, filled with the raucous caw, cawing […]

John Muir Visits the Tulare County Historical Society During the 2013 Annual Meeting

January 28, 2013 by tchistorygal

Yesterday at the Tulare County Historical Society Annual Meeting Frank Helling, a 30-year veteran as John Muir, with his hand carved cane in his Scottish accent told the crowd “Everywhere we step is holy land.” Of course he never hiked around the world, he “san-tared” (sauntered) about because hiking is too much like work. At one point Muir had to find employment. Although he wasn’t a shepherd, he was hired to keep tabs on Shepherd Billy, a lazy bloke. […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreign

October 28, 2012 by tchistorygal

This post was inspired by a prompt from WP Daily Post: Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreign. In this case I chose to focus on the word foreign meaning outside the United States where I grew up, and have lived my entire life. Almost anything that is out of our comfort zone could be classified as foreign, and this trip was as foreign as I have ever felt in my life. I hope you enjoy my long past memory of Paris, France where […]

Tillamook Air Museum

October 25, 2012 by tchistorygal

October 24th is my younger brother, Randy’s, and my Grandfather’s birthday. I always enjoy these next two weeks because for that amount of time there is only one year between us. So happy birthday, bro. This post is for you. If you’ve read about my small family, you know that Randy is my closest and nearly only living blood relative. Until Mom passed away in 2006 we hardly spent any time together, but since that time we tried harder to keep in touch. […]

California State Railroad Museum

June 29, 2012 by tchistorygal

How many times do you visit an area, and think, “I really want to go there”, but then you don’t go. That was me and the Railroad Museum. Yesterday the Tulare County Teaching American History Grant Institute scheduled the trip, and I finally got my wish. For a museum-aholic like me, it is really hard for a museum to reach the status of favorite, but this one may come very close. How fortunate for us today that the museum did […]

When you think about American history, probably the first thought that comes to mind is not the bicycle. However, in Davis, CA, bicycles are VERY important, so this is the perfect place for the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame. It is in downtown Davis, at 303 B Street. Our host, Bob Bowen, was the perfect Bicycles R Us spokesperson! I remember my first bike, well actually it was my mom’s bike, but my dad painted it powder-blue so I would think […]

Mike and Marvin link what they see at the museum to their knowledge of history imagining how they would present the information to students.

Location, Location, Location Making the Most of Meetings

May 31, 2012 by tchistorygal

President Elect, Mike Lebsock, begins his term as San Joaquin Valley Council for the Social Studies President on July 1, 2012. In preparation he meets with Vice-President Elect, Justin Paredes, current President, Marsha Ingrao, and Treasurer, Marvin Awbrey to ensure a smooth transition. Instead of meeting somewhere bland, the group of history buffs took a self-guided tour of Tulare County’s largest museums located in Mooney Grove Park.

Kearney Mansion Picnic and Tour

May 13, 2012 by tchistorygal

San Joaquin Valley Council for the Social Studies is a network of social studies educators who enjoy coming together to learn and do things together. We had our first event yesterday- a tour of Fresno’s Kearney Mansion. I have been to the park many times for the Civil War Time Travelers Event through the Fresno Historical Society and the Tulare and Fresno County Offices of Education. This was an opportunity for a private tour without 1,000 or more students […]
