Cadet Kayak Tour of Bannerman Island

The Department of History hosted nine cadets for a historical kayak tour of Bannerman Island. The cadets engaged in team building while crossing the Hudson and exploring the coast of Bannerman Island. Once ashore, they learned about the history of Bannerman Island from a professional tour guide provided by the Bannerman Island Trust. Cadets picked up hands on experience with primary documents and make linkages between the history of the island and the broader history of America. Throughout the tour, the cadets engaged with department faculty on the Army profession life.
