About the event
As students tour The Highlands, they literally take a trip through time. Since the history of the house spans almost three centuries, students learn to identify change over time, to use different sources of historical evidence, to establish chronological order. Students evaluate and interpret how their lives compare to people living at The Highlands in the 18th & 19th centuries.
Through hands-on activities, observations and inquiries, they learn about the daily life of an 18th century summer home.
Older students investigate the past by making observations about a building’s architecture and landscape and by analyzing information gained through archaeology and documentary research. They learn to demonstrate an understanding of the story of The Highlands and its connections to the history of our state and nation.
