Traveling Trunk Program
The Education department at Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum has created unique traveling trunks available to any Maryland teacher to enhance their students' learning experience. Our trunks focus on two distinct subjects in Maryland's history: Native Americans people pre-contact and the lives of Marylanders during the War of 1812. While both trunks were created with the 4th grade curriculum in mind, the lessons can easily be adapted to older and younger audiences. Feel free to preview the lessons from both trunks below. Whether you just use the lessons or rent the trunks for the objects inside, we'd love to see how you adapted them for use with your students on our Pinterest page.
