Following a morning of great stories about native America, questions and Dr. Harold Lawrence answers and cultural and philosophical perspectives, we will enjoy lunch at the Whistle Hill Café (next door), return to the museum for a self-guided tour and shopping at the museum store and then we will return to school.

The Museum of the Americas is a jewel of Weatherford, where we can find the colorful and diverse heritage of native peoples of the Americas through a fabulous collection of 19th & 20th century artifacts, crafts and folk art. The rich cultural traditions of the people and tribes of north, central and South America are reflected in the intricate and distinctive designs of the objects they make for daily use for religious ceremonies and for trade.
