Students attend war camp

The Allegany County Historical Society recently held a French and Indian War camp at the Gordon Robert House for fifth- and sixth-graders. Students learned about Allegany County’s role in the war and explored the era through American Indian crafts, re-enactors, foods, games and a field trip.
