The Kentucky Library & Museum Education Department hosted Historic Kentucky Native American days April 16-17th. Four hands-on stations including storytelling, everyday life, weaponry, and beads/face painting were staffed by experienced Native American re enactors, as well as KYLM staff and volunteers. Four hundred thirty five area school children along with 43 teachers and chaperons attended over the two days. Due to the enthusiastic response by the schools, the KYLM Education Department plans to make this an annual event.
