SCHOOL TOUR AT THE HEMET DEPOT MUSEUM
Each year the Hemet Depot Museum hosts tours and historical demonstrations for area Third Graders.
Yesterday was a typical tour. Students saw and participated in washing and ironing clothes as it was done a hundred years ago, grinding corn as the Indians did, learned the importance of the horse in early Hemet, and saw how the station agent weighed outbound freight.
In addition, they saw up close dinosaur bones, Indian artifacts and scores of objects from Hemet’s social, educational, agricultural and commercial past.
This could not be done without the support of our Museum’s dedicated volunteers.
