Educational Field Trips:
Choice #1: CREHST Museum: Boomers on Wheels: 1940's Trailer Living in the Tri Cities
1940s Trailer Living in the Tri-Cities
This outdoor exhibit features an original 1940s trailer from the North Richland construction camp. During and following World War II, small silver trailers offered less than 150 square feet of living space to accommodate an average of 3.7 people. The trailers were designed as travel trailers, but because of a severe housing shortage, many people brought their trailers with them. When completed, the Hanford Construction Camp included more than 3600 spaces and was the world's largest trailer camp. Trailers, in addition to barracks, brought the total camp population to about 51,000 people.
With the Cold War construction boom another trailer camp was constructed in North Richland and grew to include more than 2200 spaces. Originally spaces were plotted as 40 foot squares but later were shrunk to 25' by 40'. Bathhouses were provided as they were at Camp Hanford.
Like most trailers from this period, this trailer has kitchen, living room, bedroom but no bathroom. It was the property of Zane Mayberry who bought the trailer from a Mr. Hill who lived in it in North Richland. After his father's death, Ron Mayberry, donated the trailer to CREHST.
Choice #2: Lewis and Clark: Scientists in Buckskins and CREHST Museum Tour
Nearly 200 years ago, the Corps of Volunteers for Northwest Discovery, more commonly known as the Lewis and Clark Expedition, traveled through the Snake and Columbia River Basins searching for answers in the uncharted territory of the West. This exhibit will share the story of these intrepid explorers and the science behind the great expedition. EALRS will be provided to teachers.
Choice #3: Field trip to the Nine Canyon Wind Project located near Kennewick, WA.
Wind is a clean, renewable source of electricity. The Nine Canyon site is an excellent location for strong, sustained winds. It consists of 49 wind-powered turbines, each capable of producing 1.3 megawatts of electricity. Each 3-blade turbine consists of a tubular steel tower approximately 200 feet in height, three 100-foot turbine blades attached to a rotor and a nacelle which houses a generator, gear box and braking mechanisms. We will watch a powerpoint presentation on site and then tour the wind turbines. This field trip is limited to the first 25 students who sign up. A 2nd field trip is possible if there is enough interest.
