Over 500 third grade students are scheduled to
participate in the 23rd Victorian Festival
activities on Friday morning, September 16,
dressed in Victorian attire and ready to take a
field trip back in time. In addition to
elementary students from both public and private
schools, various high school students,
Northville Public Schools employees and
community volunteers will participate in the
program, dress in period clothing and help
educate the students about Northville and
Michigan’s rich history during the late 1800s.
Students will explore five historic learning
stations in downtown Northville which include:
Victorian era children’s games hosted by
Northville Parks and Recreation, historic
stories about our community’s past at the
Northville District Library, an interactive
experience with a magician at Town Square,
period music and entertainment at Genitti’s
Little Theatre provided by Northville High
School music programs and a guided village tour
of various Historic District homes where
students will examine architecture, culture, and
community. All students will end the day with
“Lunch on the Green” at Mill Race Village. This
long standing program culminates the second
grade social studies curriculum focusing on
community and introduces the third grade
curriculum on the State of Michigan.
