The focus was on pre-history and early times, the 20th Century with the building of Parker Dam creating Lake Havasu, and the history of the London Bridge.

Film and a collection of history photographs created by Anderson, artifacts, pictures, a McCulloch chainsaw and a piece of the London Bridge brought history to life for the students.
