This is a self-guided adventure. You can take as little or as long as you like. You can start the box on a Monday and come back to it on another day. It's completely on your schedule.

 

Your experience will be based on the level of effort you place into it. The base program of the discovery boxes is organized to help you look at history in a new way and immerse yourself into the past. It's not just memorizing facts and dates... it's about looking at the bigger picture of how we got here to this point in society. You do not need previous knowledge of history to become a History Detective. At the end of your experience, you will uncover how YOU are connected to these past people! 

​

• Each box explores a real person from the past;

• Each box will challenge you to try something new... a food... an activity... a skill;

• Each box will give you a variety of experiences through texts, videos, photographs, Park House artefacts, and audio;

• It is recommended that you complete each box in sequence as they build upon one another; this is not mandatory, although there will be spoilers for previous boxes.

• Due to the nature of history, we recommend that parents review the boxes to determine whether it is suitable content for youth between the ages 12 to 18; this program is suitable for youth 12+ and adults.

• These boxes also create a great opportunity to discuss contemporary issues.
