Let your students see and touch history as they learn by using one of the Vermont History Kits. 

Each kit contains artifacts and primary sources (reproductions) and includes a teacher's guide and extensive lesson plans.  The kits also contain maps, videos, cassettes, photos, and other reference material designed to make each kit flexible and easy to use.  The lessons and activities align with Vermont's Framework of Standards.
