Description

Activities
Humanities courses will be linked with three semesters of extramural fieldwork culminating in preparing three museum exhibits at the granger house museum. These exhibitions will focus on the generations of inhabitants of the house; and the "hidden history" of the house, emphasizing evidence of native americans, including the abenaki, and african american history, as the house was possibly a 'stop' for the underground railroad.
Expected outcomes
Through courses, field work and museum exhibits students will gain hands on experience in a range of different humanities related career paths. The museum plan includes interactive exhibits, scholarship, trainings, educational outreach, and public forums. Intended beneficiaries college teachers will benefit from up to 16 new part time positions. 40 students will benefit from free tuition and summer stipends. Additionally, the project prepares students for humanities-related career paths while "bridging town and gown" through the museum and studying local history. The residents of the state and the nation will also benefit from the revitalization of the granger house as a history museum.
