Trunk Tales:

Teaching Local History in Nearby Schools

Trunk Tales is part of an MHS effort to help educators teach about local history. A number of household objects from our early days in the area have been donated for hands on exploration of life before electricity, television, computers, and so many other things now taken for granted. Also included in the trunk will be a notebook with reproducible maps, stories, and photographs for teachers to use. A system is being developed to enable local teachers to check out the trunk for classroom use.

In addition, MHS continues to seek input from teachers about other useful ways to be of assistance in the study of local history. If you have suggestions for MHS, please call Ann Collier at (425) 315-0823, or e-mail ann@mukilteohistorical.org.
