Traveling Trunks

Traveling Trunks

We offer three traveling trunks to supplement the educational needs of teachers in your own classroom. Our trunks include lesson planning materials, objects that students can touch and interact with, and some trunks include multimedia materials as well. Each trunk focuses on a different aspect of social history related to our site and the region's history.  Click each of the topics below to explore the contents and subject matter of the trunk. Please contact Assistant Site Manager, Kate Moore, for more information.
