Round Robin is a fun local history program for fourth graders, run by the Historical Societies of Salisbury, Andover, and Webster. Each year, students visit all three towns’ Historical Societies. In Salisbury, they take a guided tour of the Museum, Meeting House, and Old Baptist Cemetery, with a special walk that tells stories of those buried there. The day wraps up with a picnic lunch and old-fashioned games on the Salisbury Heights Town Green.
The Salisbury Historical Society aims to ignite young people’s curiosity about local history. Using a Round Robin approach, it turns learning into an engaging, hands-on adventure that’s enjoyable for both kids and the adults who take part.
A big heartfelt thanks to everyone who volunteers as cookie bakers, museum docents, and cemetery characters!! Each year, we hope that the children’s enjoyment of Town History Day will be memorable for them and, in turn, flower into a love of history to be passed on to future generations. The fourth grade is the perfect time, as students are full of curiosity.
