Introduction

The Civic District (1)

On a glorious Thursday afternoon, a group of industrious students (which is us, in case you're wondering) embarked on a History Heritage Trail after school. Off to The Civic District we went! Being meticulous students, we wrote down our findings and reflections after exploring each site of the trail. This blog is evidence of our "blood, sweat and tears" gained from the trip.

In order to facilitate your understanding of the trip, we have so kindly attached a map of The Civic District Trail 1 which shows the location of the sites covered in the trail.  Most of the 17 locations in the trail (if not all) have been gazetted by the National Heritage Board. Our group explored all 17 locations in 4 hours (that's right) and decided to present to you what we felt was the best and most interesting 15 locations.

In each location, we will explore some background information, some trivia which we have picked up during the trip (which we thought would be interesting) and some reflections about each area. We also uploaded some pictures to complement the post, as we share our observations of each site and the joy of going through the heritage as a group. There will also be a culmination of individual reflections about Singapore History and Cultural Heritage insights after the learning trip.
