Teaching the 250th
This guide is designed to help Vermont’s local historical societies approach the 250 anniversaries of the United States and Vermont with honesty, depth, and community purpose. It is organized into three areas: framing the conversation around commemoration, grade-level direction, and connecting collections to classrooms and the wider public.
If you are looking for new ways to use your objects as part of your Active Collections work, these themes may be helpful. Also explore the All In Vermont project for inspiration as you engage students and educators in your community.
