Chippewa Middle School's eighth graders paid a visit to the Des Plaines History Center. 

A group of people stand on a grassy lawn in front of a large tree, with buildings and a street visible in the background.

The students had the opportunity to learn about World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. They heard firsthand from veterans who shared their experiences with them.

A group of people are gathered in a grassy yard with a tree in the foreground, while a street and buildings are visible in the background.

The students also saw artifacts from the wars, played trivia and learned about what life was like on the home front during that period of time.

A tour guide explains the features of an antique stove and sink to a group of teenagers in a historic kitchen.

The class also had a chance to explore the 1907 Kinder House Museum and the tools that were used in every day life.

The students rounded out their visit with a fun game of tug-of-war outside the history center.
