NICODEMUS — The Nicodemus National Historic Site’s annual Junior Ranger Day will be Saturday, April 25.

Third- through sixth-graders are invited to explore one of the iconic African-American communities of the American West.

During this day of interactive events, visitors will have the opportunity to learn about Nicodemus, its residents, about the role of its residents in the westward expansion of the United States, as well as how Nicodemus fits into the National Park system.

The program will begin at 10 a.m. and will conclude at 3 p.m.

During that time, students will have the opportunity to speak with one of the descendants of original Nicodemus settlers, build their own model church or schoolhouse, and partake in a scavenger hunt that will allow them to explore the town, along with several other interactive activities.

Parents should make sure that their children arrive with a packed lunch, at least one quart of water, and comfortable shoes suitable for walking.

RSVP to Jonathan Winskie by Wednesday, April 22, at (785) 839-4321 or [email protected].
