The program had its debut in 2012 when almost 50 3rd grade students from C.R. Carmichael Elementary School in Portola were bused to the ranch where they participated in hands-on activities learning about life on the ranch in 1858. Students learned about blacksmithing and how important that skill was in maintaining ranch property. They also performed laundry activities, engaged in leather repairs, built wooden fruit boxes, played games, learned about native americans that lived in the Mohawk Valley in the 1800's and learned about the environment on the ranch that is still rich today.
