Teaching with Historic Places
Teaching with Historic Places (TwHP) uses historic places in National Parks and in the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places to enliven history, social studies, geography, civics, and other subjects. TwHP has created a variety of products and activities that help teachers bring historic places into the classroom.
Incorporate TwHP in your classroom with these lesson plans on the Paterson silk industry.
