When we visited the National Historic site in Ohio for the First Ladies, when we got to the top floor there was a special room set up for young visitors. They could participate in a variety of activities and become what was called, “A Junior Ranger”. (They have a Junior Ranger program set up at many of the National Park locations with activities that are of interest to youngsters while they learn about the National Historic Site they are visiting.
I picked up one of the Jr. Ranger activity booklets and found it quite interesting. What was in it was a good review for anyone of any age.
Activity #1 asked, “What is a First Lady”? The first lady is a partner to the president. Most have been their wives but some have been daughters and sisters. All have been women. They have many different responsibilities including serving as a host for social events, act as an advisor to the president and listening to their concerns and be an activist to create positive change or they can be a symbol admired for their fashion, personality or work.
