Big Bone Lick

The first was Discovery School Days:  “We enjoyed a day with the park naturalist.  He led us in a fun lecture about the ice age that covered this part of KY.  The kids all took part in role playing saber-tooth tigers, sloths, mammoths, even ice moving across land…an excellent use of creative dramatics!

“At lunch, Mrs. Rachel lit a fire and everyone roasted marshmallows.  Then we spent the afternoon learning survival skills that may have been used by American Indians in this area.  We learned flint napping, jewelry making, even how to start a fire using a bow and hearth… not by rubbing two sticks together!  It was a great day!!”

The second report was by Hoppy Hollow Farm:

“We learned about the Ice Age and learned survival skills, including how to start a fire.  The naturalist was exceptional and we got all this for $3 a student. It was an incredible deal!!
