This curriculum includes lessons on using primary sources and for studying George Washington using letters, diaries, and other archival materials. Teachers can use these lessons alone or in conjunction with a visit to the Museum. The Massachusetts Archives building is located on a scenic peninsula in Boston Harbor. Many sites around the building grounds present excellent subjects to draw or paint, including the Boston skyline, sailboats on the water, the Archives building or the Kennedy Library, landscapes, or fellow students. A printed guide provides a framework for the walk.
All programs are free.
