Oh okay...If only schools in the area...and even homeschooling networks made it a point to keep these locations a priority to visit as “field trips” and whatnot. That’d be so helpful.
I agree. I was in grammar school in Rochester, NY in the 1950's. They took us to the local fire department to learn about fire safety. We went to the George Eastman House (founder of Eastman Kodak), and to the Rochester Museum before it also became a Science Center. We listened to radio broadcasts of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and they also took us to the Eastman Theater to hear them in person. In our gym classes, we learned how to dance the waltz and square-danced, and we had home ec classes. We girls learned how to bake, and sew, while the boys did woodworking. That was all in grammar school. I don't know what they teach kids today.
