Revolution at the Library: South County Regional Branch

Thinking Like a Historian
July 6 | 1 p.m.
Historians use objects, documents, and contextual knowledge to build an understanding of the past. Together with Museum staff, students will be invited to do the same, using their eyes, hands, and critical thinking skills to explore what replica objects can tell us about the people of the past.  

Under the Museum
July 7 | 1 p.m.
Go behind the scenes with museum staff to discover cool artifacts from the past and hear the exciting stories they can tell. In this workshop, we will learn about archaeology and the thousands of objects we discovered under the Museum—in an 18th-century toilet! Find out what these objects reveal about the people who once lived in our revolutionary neighborhood.
