Upcoming Events with the Virtual Pioneers

We have several fascinating and one-of-a-kind tours coming up through the end of March! We start each tour at 5pm SLT at Virtual Pioneer Headquarters (bit.ly/vpioneers), so mark your calendars, get excited, and even scour your inventory for fun clothes if you would like for the following events in the next several weeks! 

• February 12th - Early 1900s Nodaway County, Missouri. Photographs, diaries, and local newspaper accounts tell the story of one family and a small Missouri town from the 1890s through the 1950s.  Second Life allows us to share those stories in three dimensions and remember a time and place long past.  Bringing old photographs and new technology together means that the 1920 American Legion Follies can play an encore performance, handwritten recipes become art, and we see how a small-town professional photographer used big-time advertising to bring in customers.  The Nodaway sim in Second Life celebrates the people, places, and connections of one family and community. 
  

• February 19th - No meeting
  
  
• February 26th - Peruamparo Delvalle will lead a tour of Machu Picchu, a real-life reproduction of the ancient ruins of the Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu, a rigorous simulation of a 60% real Citadel, built as part of the University San martin de Porres of Perú.  We will  learn about the history, origin and use of one of the world's archaeological wonders.
