Children’s Activity – In March, children and adults may view historical paintings in Fruit Heights.

The paintings on display in the currently shown Bicentennial Art: A 1976 Historical Redux Exhibit which illustrate local history will be available for viewing this spring in the city building.  As you view the scenes represented, imagine local landscape scenes where pioneer children may have walked. As you travel through your hometown on the way to school or other activities, look for scenes that remind you how Fruit Heights must have looked a century or more ago. Do you still see cabins, farms, silos, granaries or old barns that settlers may have used ? Can you look at the creeks and imagine Native Americans camping alongside the running water? Perhaps you think of sage brush, buffalos and wild flowers. Draw a picture of how you imagine long ago to have looked.
