Children’s Activity
In what landscape scenes do you imagine seeing pioneer children?

The paintings on display in the currently shown Bicentennial Art: A 1976 Historical Redux Exhibit illustrate local history. As you travel through your hometown on the way to school or other activities, look for scenes that remind you how Kaysville 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.
