WHILE READING A BOOK OR WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT A HISTORIC
EVENT CAN BE INTRIGUING, BEING ABLE TO STEP INTO THE PAST AND EXPERIENCE
LIFE IN THE COLONIAL ERA WILL HAVE A MUCH MORE LASTING IMPACT. BY
CREATING THIS LIVING HISTORY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, WE BELIEVE THAT
STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WILL COME AWAY WITH A MUCH DEEPER KNOWLEDGE
OF, AND A DEEPER APPRECIATION FOR, THE 18TH CENTURY MARITIME HERITAGE
THAT HELPED DEFINE COLONIAL AMERICA.
