\nA touch screen on a computer at the Agricultural and Industrial Museum linked eras of York County’s history with rings on May’s Oak<\/a>, the giant tree that fell in Emigsville in 1997 (See here at the museum). The exhibit enthralled second-grade students during a recent visit to the museum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nI explained in a recent York Sunday News column that a group of second-graders from Lincoln Intermediate Unit’s migrant summer school were energized by the hands-on exhibits at York County Heritage Trust’s Agricultural and Industrial Museum.<\/p>\n
