Traveling Trunk
Bring Wisconsin history to you!
This exciting series of traveling resource trunks is created for teachers, youth group leaders, museums, libraries, and other Wisconsinites looking for a unique and educational way to share the rich heritage of our state with others.
Each trunk focuses on a specific topic in our local history and contains many high-quality reproductions of historical artifacts, and primary source documents and photographs for your students to have a personal experience with the past. This is a great way for students to learn historical thinking skills, practice asking questions about the past, study history from multiple-perspectives, and share their knowledge through creative activities. A teacher's manual is included. The trunks have suggested grade levels but can be borrowed for any age group.
Trunks can be rented for up to 2 weeks. A donation of $10 is suggested. Please call MCHS at (920) 684-4445 with any questions or to reserve a trunk.
