Fourth grade students at Walker Charter Academy visited the Lansing Capitol Building and Michigan Historical Museum to broaden their appreciation of Michigan’s rich history.

Before visiting the museum, the students viewed a video about the changes that the capitol building underwent during its years of service and the restoration that occurred to preserve a piece of Michigan’s history.  At the capitol building, students were also toured the House and Senate chambers where Michigan’s laws are made.

The trip sought to deepen students’ understanding of how Michigan fulfills the purpose of government by making and enforcing laws that protect individual rights.
