Oct. HSD - Historical Transportation
Monday, Oct. 16, 9:30 – 11:30 a.m.
Ding! Ding! All aboard the Trolley for a very special ride into the past to talk about how people got around and went where they needed to go before cars were common. From the horses and trolleys to electric vehicles on Colfax over a hundred years ago, we’ll explore various modes of transport used in Aurora.
Nov. HSD – Old Aurora at Centennial House
Tuesday, Nov. 14, 9:30 – 11:30 a.m.
Built in 1891, Centennial House was one of the original houses built in the neighborhood that became Aurora. During this fieldtrip students and parents will tour the house and learn about Aurora’s origins. We will also take a short walking tour of this historic neighborhood (weather dependent). Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see inside one of Aurora historic treasures!
