Distance Learning for Children: History and Historic Preservation Part II
Village Preservation has developed online resources for students from our acclaimed children’s education program, History and Historic Preservation. These videos and activities are designed for children ages 5-7. During this time of remote learning, these are a great resource and a way to keep children engaged and expand their horizons from home. Today we introduce Part 2. Click here to watch the introduction video and Part 1 of this series.
