, Preserve Broadwater History, the Broadwater County Museum and Radersburg Historical Preservation, Inc. (RHPI) hosted the Townsend Schools 7th grade class's 5th annual outing at the historic Radersburg School.
The 7th grade class is the class that studies Montana History and Radersburg has a very rich history!
Linda Huth (Broadwater County Museum Curator) started off the outing by giving an interesting and entertaining history of Radersburg. All of the students were enthralled with Linda’s presentation.
After the presentation, the students were given a lunch of hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, cookies and water. Bob’s Supermarket generously donated the hamburgers and the condiments. Seventh grade students are very fond of lunch!
The students were given time to run off some energy outside, then went to the Radersburg historic Methodist Church. Victor Sample talked about the founding of the Church by Brother Van Orsdell. He also pointed out the site where the Jefferson County Courthouse was stood and talked about the history of the Courthouse.
The trip finished with a visit to the Radersburg cemetery. Jackie Smith of the Radersburg Cemetery Association hosted the students as they researched the cemetery AND had ice cream!
We really appreciate Dave Lawson, Tyler Patrick and Lisa Campbell for taking the time to bring the students to Radersburg.
We also would like to thank Bob’s Supermarket for helping us make the trip possible with the donation of $100.00 worth of food.
