State, U.S. and World History Comes Alive right in your own school. Forget the long, loud, noisy and time-consuming bus trips. Forget all of the admission fees to field trip sites. Teachers! Simplify your life!
We are the field trip that comes to you for a half-day or full-day historical experience that your students will not forget. Confucius said, “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” That is our goal and that is what HISTORICAL EXPERIENCES does in schools across the state.
Our lyceums are sure to spark anyone’s interest in history. Research shows that people learn twice as much when learning interactively than in a traditional setting. Accordingly, Historical Experiences makes use of this knowledge by giving audience members an active role to play in historical events. Our presentations align with state social studies standards and work toward students achieving those standards in an entertaining and engaging way.
Arn Kind has been an educator for 48 years bringing his educational and entertaining presentations to elementary, middle and high school students as well university lyceums. His presentations are popular with historical societies, libraries and festivals where organizers can choose from a variety of interactive programs that cover the history of our state, our nation and our world. Arn is a member of the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment; a reenactment group based out of Fort Snelling. Because this group is noted for its authenticity, they have appeared in many documentaries and historical feature films such as The Blue and the Gray, North & South, Glory, Gettysburg, Dances With Wolves, and Gods and Generals. He will also be appearing as a Continental Soldier in George Washington’s Army at Velley Forge in the upcoming film THE AMERICAN MIRACLE. Arn brings this authenticity to his presentations. His training and experiences as a teacher enable him to adjust and adapt the subject matter to suit different age levels.
A very important part of Arn’s presentations are the artifacts, uniforms and equipment that students will be able to observe, handle, and interact with as part of their hands-on experience in living the history. Choose from 14 different historical topics that will fit into your curriculum. All of which will get your young people excited about their history. And all of these can be presented in your own school. No long noisy bus rides. Contact us today to schedule your in-school history field trip.
