Students from the school are split up into groups of 8 or 10 and proceed to history stations run by Ely Museum volunteers. There may be 6 or 8 stations including Blacksmith Shop, Stone Tool Making, Life on the Range, Stagecoach Rules, Washboard and Wringer, and Gold Panning. Each group of students spend at least 15 minutes at each station before they rotate to the next station.
