In themeadow 2​The Hudson Valley Ramble came to Rye on Jay Day, Sunday, September 28th.

Busing New York:
Field Trips and Local Paths Through History

field-trip_students_busOn May 30, 2013, I wrote about a high school teacher who took a class to Greece and wondered how that teacher would go about creating a visit to New York State. He used a travel agent because multiple paths through Greek history exist and he could pick the one he wanted. One might think that something similar could be done in New York but consider the following examples.

They also are mainly in Rockland County which the Society, of course knows well. After that post about Greece, I received a private email which I am authorized to share. The Society would like to expand its bus programs beyond the county but encountered problems. [Read more…] about Busing New York:
