"Our school really enjoyed visiting the Clive Depot this spring. We had 8 children and 8 adults visit. The children talked about the toys they saw in the general store and the adults enjoyed learning some great history about Clive and the area surrounding the depot."

"It was very easy to communicate with members of the Historical Society in putting our visit together. They were ready for us when we arrived and the tour was informative and organized. I hope to make this field trip a tradition for my class!”
