magine a place where you could learn about history first hand. In such a place, unlike conventional museums, you could interact with the tools and technology in their proper context. You could learn spinning as an apprentice to a spinner, weaving as an apprentice to a weaver, or candle making as an apprentice to a chandler. You could learn about the politics and culture of the past by interacting with representative characters and directly observing these people as they go about their daily lives. Imagine the power of learning the importance of average people to the course of history!

t the Medieval Centre, we dream of fostering this appreciation of history by creating a unique, interactive, and participatory environment where everyone can learn. Our dream is to re-create a medieval toft and croft - complete with structures. Our peasant croft would serve as our stage for our unique, interactive, and educational programs.

tudents will arrive at our Medieval Farm to be transported back to the time of Geoffrey Chaucer and the Hundred Year War. As part of our philosophy of total immersion, they will be provided with the appropriate clothing for our period. They would then be assigned to different groups led by our master craftsmen. Under their master's guide, they will complete actual tasks that an apprentice would do and They will get to keep the product of their work to help them remember their experience!
