What is the main goal for this project?

Our organization is interested in exploring and sharing the history of our town. We are working to raise awareness about historic preservation.

We would like to collaborate with students to research and share our town’s history.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Producing a map showing key historical sites and a timeline of important events.
  • Researching and providing descriptions of the sites and events with modern photos and archival images.
  • Raising awareness about the importance of our town’s historic preservation.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of our town’s history
  • Mapping and documentation of important historical sites and events
  • Assistance in promoting our town’s historic preservation

Final deliverables should include

  • A 10-minute presentation.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our organization’s mission and goals
  • Our research and awareness campaigns
