Bradford House to host hands-on history workshop for students
The Bradford House Historical Association’s educators will conduct a workshop on Aug. 1 at the Meeting House at 182 S. Main St., Washington. The workshop is designed for students who have completed grades 6 through 9. The class is limited to 16 students. The workshop fee is $40.
Students will be introduced to the Bradford House poster contest and will be guided through the steps of creating a visual project. They will be introduced to primary sources of historical information, research methods and presentation techniques. These skills will become a valuable asset that will carry over into the classroom.
A tour of the Whiskey Rebellion Education and Visitor Center will be included, as well as 18th-century table games and a craft for the students. Lunch, snacks and water will be provided. Students must bring a laptop, Chromebook or other electronic device capable of Internet connection for research purposes. For more information, contact Tracie Liberatore at info@bradfordhouse.org.
