Curriculum

With the assistance of educators at the Hamilton-Wenham Regional School District, the Wenham Museum has prepared an Interdisciplinary Curriculum Guide for teachers to use whether they are preparing for a visit from Miss Columbia or creating a meaningful program to help celebrate the turning of a new century.

The year 2000 offers us an incredible opportunity to step back and look at the enormous changes the last century has brought. These new developments, particularly in communication and transportation, have also enabled us to connect, teach, and learn from people in communities across the world. The Guide, therefore, devotes itself largely to these two themes: comparing life in the year 1900 with everyday life today, and exploring our global neighborhood.

Below you'll find the Guide's Table of Contents. You must have the Acrobat Reader in order to view the curriculum activites. With the Acrobat Reader, you can view the Curriculum Guide.
