In March 2023, PVI students had the unique opportunity to visit the China Folk House in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, and explore the cultural heritage rooted in rural life in Yunnan, China. In 1989, a Tibetan Catholic family built a farmhouse near Cizhong in Yunnan, China. The house was later preserved and relocated from China to West Virginia by Dr. Flower, a history teacher at Sidwell Friends. During the field trip, Dr. Flower taught students about the village of Cizhong, which has a unique history as the home to a Catholic church and the experience of French missionaries there. Students were assigned to one of four different groups to learn about different topics: how to build a traditional Chinese stone house, exploring Chinese flowers/herbals and their symbolism, farming vegetables and food particular to Yunnan, and experiencing traditional Chinese arts firsthand.
