The students of Bueker Middle School spent the morning of Thursday, Oct. 25, at Arrow Rock learning about what life was like during the time of Louis and Clark. The students went through seven stations: a museum scavenger hunt, beading, fire starting/candle making, teepee with a trading game and to learn about Louis and Clark trading with Native Americans, atlatl throwing, archery, and a visit to the John Sites Gunsmith Shop.
