Learning in the Limestone City:
Educational Field Trip Ideas in Kingston
This is a handbook of possible destinations for educational field trips in Kingston and the surrounding area. The
learning opportunities in Kingston range from Grade One through Grade Twelve and encompass a wide variety of
subjects and strands. This handbook illustrates some of the curriculum connections they have to offer, with each
destination meeting the Ontario Curriculum needs in many different ways.
Many sites have been providing excellent education programs for years and others are just now creating some
wonderful links to the curriculum. Many sites offer teacher services such as pre-trip information and follow-up
activities and most have excellent websites.
You will be pleased to notice our list of free destinations. Tour a few of the sites and enjoy a picnic lunch at
Confederation Park and your day of learning would cost very little.
Remember that each of the destinations is an excellent learning experience for all Grades, and each can fit into your
curriculum in a meaningful way.

Fairfield House
Fairfield House, built within the first ten years of
settlement, provides opportunities to gain information
about, understanding of and appreciation for the natural
and cultural history of Loyalist Township and its region.
Fairfield House themes are the Loyalist experience and
start of settlement, early building methods and use of
natural materials, and the Fairfield family and their
community.
Teacher Services:
The expanse of lakeshore provides students with a setting to
imagine the arrival of Loyalist families to start settlement in
1784. Reproduction artifacts of that era can add hands-on
dimensions.
Fairfield House is set up to show evidence of early building
methods and use of local resources. Instead of refurnished
rooms, Fairfield House offers history detectives a first-hand
look at original material such as hewn wooden beams,
handmade bricks, basic building frame joints, and layers of
paint. The cellar was dug into the limestone bedrock.
Location: In Fairfield Park, Amherstview, 4562 Bath Road
(Loyalist Parkway)

Fort Henry
Throughout the season, Fort Henry
offers programs that are much
more than just history lessons.
Designed in partnership with the
Limestone District School Board,
they use a hands-on approach
to achieve the desired learning
outcomes of the classroom
curriculum including language
studies, artwork, technology and
design, family studies, geography
and geology.
The Bonnycastle Tour:
A guided tour of Fort Henry led by one of the Fort’s historical interpreters will explain
why the Fort was built and why it still occupies an important place today. Groups
are then invited to explore the Fort at their leisure or view the diverse interpretive
programs presented by the Fort Henry Guard and Garrison Life Interpreters. One
supervisor per 5 students, complimentary.
Fees: $8.65 per participant
Length of Tour: Approx. 1 hour.
Victorian Education Program:
In addition to a tour of the Fort, students will have the opportunity to participate in a
Military Muster Parade and a schoolroom lesson.
One supervisor per 5 students, complimentary.
Fee: $10.50 per participant
Length of Tour: Approx. 1.5 hours
Garrison Life Program:
This half-day program will take the students back to the year 1867, where they will
become recruits in the British Army. An introductory tour of the new “posting” will
be given, followed by a Barrack Room inspection, Military drill on the parade square,
a class lesson in the schoolroom and fatigues (i.e. cleaning the privies, scrubbing
down cannon chambers, stacking firewood, etc.).
Length of Tour: Approx. 3 hours
7
A Day in the Regiment Program:
Regiments and Rations Tour:
This full day visit includes a tour of the Fort, teacher time,
plus other modules including the schoolroom, drill sessions,
Barrack Room inspections and a history hunt. A historical
interpreter will be available to act as the group coordinator
and will be assigned to your group to assist with school and
drill sessions. Upon arrival, groups will be issued reproduction
uniforms of the British Army of 1867.
In partnership with Jessup Food and Heritage, this tour
consists of a combination of the Bonnycastle Youth Tour and
a provided lunch, which includes a hotdog, french fries, and a
fountain drink.
One supervisor per 5 students, complimentary (excluding
lunch).
Length of Tour: Approx. 1 hour.
Location: 1 Fort Henry Dr., from Highway 2 East, Kingston
Length of Tour: 5-6 hours
Hours: Open to the public May – September daily 9:30am –
5:00pm. School programs available all year.
Soldier’s Overnight Program:
No classroom experience will equal to the excitement and fun
of the Soldier’s Overnight Program. It is by far the premiere
learning experience Fort Henry has to offer. Students are
immersed into the lifestyle of Fort Henry’s garrison, exposing
them to actual routines of the 1860s. The day kicks off
with an orientation tour, followed by outfitting the class in
reproduction British Army uniforms which will remain theirs
until the program’s end. Students will attend classes in the
Military schoolroom taught completely in the 1860s style and
participate in drill on the parade square under the command
of a soldier. Better have your Barrack Room neat and in order
or face the wrath of your instructor during rigid inspections!
Students will carry out routine fatigues to give them a wellrounded experience of the chores of the day. A highlight of
the Overnight is the evening’s “Ghost Hunt”, as our soldiers
lead students through underground tunnels always looking
behind them for the trace of a friendly ghost. The group will
retire to the Barrack Room within the Fort for a well-earned
sleep, only to awake early the next morning to raise the flag!
Expose your students to the most exciting sleepover they will
ever have! NOTE: Separate male and female sleeping quarters
are provided for this program. One supervisor per 10 students,
complimentary.
Admission for School Groups: Varies according to the
program/tour.
Services: Washrooms and food services can be provided as
part of the school programs for an additional fee, or you can

Wolfe Island
Built in 1846 at the height of the Oregon Crisis, as part
of the defensive fortification of Kingston, Murney Tower
stands as one of the finest Martello Towers in North
America. This redoubt was never attacked, but served as
military housing for forty years. The three floors house a
collection of social and military artifacts of 19th-century
Kingston that tells the story of the soldiers and their
families who lived there.
Wolfe Island is the largest of the Thousand Islands. It
was inhabited beginning in the 1700s by settlers, and
before that, by the Iroquois. Wolfe Island is home to 1300
full-time inhabitants with its population doubling in the
summer months. To access the Island you must take the
Wolfe Island Ferry. The trip across lasts about 20 minutes
and provides a beautiful view of the Kingston Harbour,
as well as Fort Henry and the Royal Military College of
Canada. There is connection to Cape Vincent, New York
from the Island via Horne’s Ferry.
Grade 7: History – Conflict and Change; British North
America Activities appropriate to other Grades as well.
The Island has recreational activities for all ages. It is a
magnificent way to get some fresh air and a beautiful view.
There are a number of environmental and science-related
activities that are possible on the Island including: fisheries,
maple syrup, beehives, 1850s canal, Native artifacts, history
of logging, shipwrecks, sand dunes habitats, recycling, as well
as the opportunity for a number of ecology studies (plants,
taxonomy of trees, etc).
Teacher Services: For school groups, a special emphasis on
interactive learning. A challenging and rewarding session of
questions and answers allow students of all ages to understand
how things were at Murney Tower. The vast number of
academic disciplines covered by the tour will make your visit
an extremely enriching experience. Interpreters will guide
the students through three floors of exhibits, and the students
will then have a question and answer period and chance to try
military uniforms and period costumes.

Kingston Museums
Grade 2: Social Studies
The program will identify ways in which heritage and
traditions are passed on (e.g., stories; community celebrations;
special days such as Remembrance Day, Canada Day, National
Aboriginal Day, and religious holidays; the Canadian flag;
music, crafts, dance, food, recreation, and clothing).
Specific Expectations: The program outlines traditions of
various cultures that are passed down from earlier generations
(e.g., celebrations, names).
Frontenac County
Schools Museum
The Frontenac County Schools Museum began as a
project for Kingston’s Tercentenary in 1973. In an effort
to document and preserve the history of the one-room
schoolhouse, a small group of retired educators spent
many hours researching and photographing schools
and school sites, collecting books and artifacts and
microfilming hundreds of school records. In 1977,
the Frontenac County Schools Museum Association
was formally established as a non-profit, incorporated
institution and by late 1979 the Museum was ready to be
unveiled to the public. The Museum is currently located
in Barriefield where it boasts a schoolroom exhibit
set up in the style of an early 20th century one-room
schoolhouse, and a Gallery containing school artifacts,
memorabilia, photographs and textbooks. The Museum
also has extensive archives and research collection on the
history of education in Kingston and Frontenac County.
The program uses a variety of resources and tools to gather,
process, and communicate information about the rules people
follow in daily life and the responsibilities of family members
and other people in their school and community. Explains how
and why relationships, rules, and responsibilities may change
over time, and in different places.
Specific Expectations: The program states in simple terms
what “relationships”, “rules”, and “responsibilities” are.
14
The program describes the communities of early settlers
and First Nation peoples in Upper Canada around 1800
using a variety of resources and tools to gather, process,
and communicate information about interactions between
new settlers and existing communities, including First
Nation peoples, and the impact of factors such as heritage,
natural resources, and climate on the development of early
settler communities; compare aspects of life in early settler
communities and present-day communities.
Specific Expectations: The program describes the major
components of an early settlement (e.g., grist mill, church,
school, general store, and blacksmith’s shop); it describes the
various roles of male and female settlers (e.g., farm worker,
minister, teacher, merchant, blacksmith, and homemaker).
The program uses primary and secondary sources to locate
key information about early settler communities (e.g., primary
sources: diaries or journals, local Museums, early settlers’
houses, forts, villages; secondary sources: maps, illustrations,
print materials, videos, and CD-ROMs); This program
compares and contrasts aspects of daily life for early settler
and/or First Nation children in Upper Canada and children in
present-day Ontario (e.g., food, education, work and play); it
also compares and contrasts aspects of life in early settler and/
or First Nation communities in Upper Canada and in their
own community today (e.g., services, jobs, schools, stores,
use and management of natural resources); compare and
contrast buildings/dwellings in early settler and/or First Nation
communities in Upper Canada with buildings and dwellings
in present-day Ontario; compares and contrasts tools and
technologies used by early settlers and/or First Nation peoples
with present-day tools and technologies (e.g., quill/word
processor; sickle/combine harvester; methods of processing
lumber, grain, and other products); re-create some social
activities or celebrations of early settler and/or First Nation
communities in Upper Canada.
Though there are few direct curriculum connections,
classes are invited to come and take on tasks such as cursive
writing, using a straight pen, viewing exhibits on Sir John A.
Macdonald in connection with Confederation and getting
a general taste of what types of discipline were acceptable
in the early 1900s. The Museum has an abundance of books
and resources that students can come and view and take on
research using primary and secondary sources.
Teacher Services: The Museum offers special educational
heritage programming that your staff and students should
take advantage of. The Museum offers programs specifically
designed to assist teachers of various Grades (particularly
related to pioneer and heritage curriculum aspects). The
Museum also offers seasonal programming such as the
Christmas Concert Programme. A visit to the Frontenac
County Schools Museum will help students to understand
the development of Canadian society from the pioneer rural
period to the modern urban era. Students will experience life
at the turn of the century in the one-room schoolhouse where
they will participate in activities that emphasize the ways in
which education has evolved and the manner in which the
lives of students who attended school at the turn of the century.
The Gallery will also be of interest to students as it contains
many artifacts, which demonstrate the changes in equipment,
materials and technologies over the past 150 years.

Notes
Enhance your science class studies of the Earth with a
visit to the Miller Museum at Queen’s University. The
hands-on programs are designed around the central fact
that there is no substitute for actually touching the object
of study. During a visit, students may pass around objects
such as meteorites, dinosaur bones and other fossils, or
examples of different rocks and minerals.
1. Mineral Identification: A Grade 4 curriculum hands-on
activity about the uses of minerals, and how to identify
them, followed by a tour of the Museum galleries. During
this engaging instructor-led program, students will share
kits of real mineral samples to perform hardness tests,
streak tests, and many other diagnostic investigations
using the samples. Students will also have the opportunity
to see beautiful mineral samples in the Museum galleries
afterwards. This program is a great introduction to the topic,
or a wrap-up review for classes at the end of their study unit
on minerals.
2. Meteorites: A Grade 6 “space” curriculum interactive
program during which students will touch different types
of meteorites and find out what they tell us about the Earth.
Other activities in this program include searching for
micrometeorites using a microscope, and demonstrations
about scale modeling of impact craters.
3. Dinosaurs: Focusing on dinosaurs, this is a great
introduction to fossils and paleontology for students
between Kindergarten and Grade 3 (also suitable for Beavers

and Brownies). Children get to see and touch a variety
of bone and tooth casts, and real fossils including a real
dinosaur bone and a real meat-eater tooth.
4. Introduction to Geology: This program is an engaging
introduction to the various aspects of the study of Earth.
It is an interactive overview of rocks, minerals, fossils
and Earth processes illustrated with many touch samples.
The program is then followed by exploration time in the
Museum galleries, featuring a dinosaur exhibit, and displays
of minerals and rocks.
5. The Earth Through Time: A Grade 11 Biology
curriculum program, during which students will be seated
along an 8 meter-long geological time scale graphic for a
lecture about the major changes in the Earth’s geosphere,
atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere from its formation
through to the present day. The lecture is illustrated with
rocks and fossils spanning the entire 4.6 billion years of
Earth history including meteorites, the appearance of life,
and its progression from exclusively single-celled organisms
in the beginning to the complex life of the present day.
