Fort Ross Field Trip




Hey Kids,

So your teacher told me you will make a two day overnight trip to
Place called Fort Ross State Park. I don’t know much about it but perhaps we can get some information and then you can write me back on what you find. Below is the URL
(Web address), so you can go check it out.

http://fortrossstatepark.org/




I would like to know some specific things about this place. First of all,
Where is it in California? North, South, East or West and how far away is it?

Ms. Pickens told me that you will have to wear a special costume. Can you describe what they’re like and why you’ll be wearing them? There are some photos you can look at on the above link. Take a look.

Finally, what do you plan to do and learn while you are? It sounds like a cool place, but I’ve no idea about what they do in this park.

SO after you check out the website, post on the blog a paragraph or two about what you found
out. I really want to know about the costumes, so be as descriptive as you can! Review the steps
on post below and I look forward to your responses.

1. At the bottom of this post, click where it says “Comments”.

I never would even guess that Fort Ross would'nt have survived for as long as it did without it's vital trades to Russian Outposts in Alaska.it was used as a food supply for the outposts in Alaska and also traded Otter skins for all different types of supplies. I think going there and looking at the sea otters and old cannons will be very exciting. Fort Ross was really big, but only held 25 russians and 80 native Alaskans!

The girls wore long skirts to their ankles. I think it's because it was illegal to show your legs. The men wore plain white long sleeve shirts and pants. Usually at least. They weren't too fancy. More casual.

I have found out great things about Fort Ross. This place is in California. Ivan Alexandrioch Kuskov constructed the fort. The fort was established in 1812. The Russian American Company established the fort. Alaska was controlled by Russia before it became an American state.

I do not know where it is. The boys wear dark pants, loose, white shirts, and boots. The girls wear long, plain dresses, and bonnets. I will get up in the middle of the night for night watch. I hope I have a good time.

Ft. Ross is near Mendisino. Some of their costumes make them look like real militia frpm back then. That's what I hope to be when I get there.But I don't want to take watch!I hope we don't have da's.I want to go.

Girls will wear usually bandanas over their heads, but they can also
wear straw hatswith a strap to hold it on. Boys can wear manskirts
and straw hats. Their hats can be a little weird, like some kind of bird beak hats. They weren't so fancy. The food can be trout, straight from the water. There is a big pot, where we make soup and stuff like that. Fort Ross sounds like so much fun!

At Fort Ross,men ware long shirts with a belt around their waste that goes over the long shirt. Women ware loose shirts that are colorssuch as white, dark blue, gray, and olive green. At Fort Ross, you can be in the militia, (if you do that you guard the fort all day long). You can also be a gardener, a cook, an artisn, or a hunter. mink (Madalena)

They had some cool kind of nice costumes. They did have some weird costumes. I saw a woman with a stick in a shirt. They all look so happy. I know now that I going to see russin there.I can not wait to we get there.

Unknown said...

I think that Fort Ross is close by mendecino.The costumes are like the pilgrams,and the reason why we have to wear costumes is so that we can have the same experience as they did.I really look forward to going to fort ross.

fort ross is really fun looking. I really want to be a militia. It seems like we will be learning about the russian trade. The clothes seem cotton and scratchy.
