Football Hall of Fame, Canton

In January, we had a group of students and parents spend a day learning about professional football, and specifically, the many ties to our NE Ohio area at the Professional Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Stark County.
One parent was kind enough to share her experience with me, so I'm sharing it here with you.
Thanks, Ileen!

"The field trip was great! The tour started with a speaker taking the group
to a meeting room & discussing the history of the football helmet. We
watched a short football "bloopers" video, that had everyone laughing. The
speaker also gave us several details about the Pro Football Hall of Fame,
historical facts & interesting statistics. He also had interactive
questions to get the students involved. This took up at least the 30 to 45
minutes, which was great. Then the students were given "The Investigative
Reporter", field trip questionnaires, to fill out. We had a great time
searching for the fun facts in the museum. The questionnaire included a map of the museum
to help us find our facts.
The boys had a blast & so did I! We would enjoy
going there anytime. We left the museum around 3:30 pm & probably could
have stayed longer, but we had other places to go."

If you are interested in scheduling your own fun field trip at the Hall of Fame, you can find
info on their website at Pro Football HOF.
