Massie Traveling Trunks and Box Kits

            Using funds from a Teaching American History grant, Massie Heritage Center staff and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) teachers developed 38 resource kits available for use in the classrooms across the district.  These items include a variety of books, artifacts and other manipulatives related to specific grade-level topics including the American Revolution, Civil War, Civil Rights, Slavery, Westward Expansion, Native Americans and various historical figures, such as George Washington and Theodore Roosevelt.  The materials are requested, reserved and loaned to the SCCPSS teacher for a two week period when that curriculum is being taught and/or reviewed with their students. (Please note: These materials
are currently available only for SCCPSS teachers.)
