Loan Boxes
The Washtenaw County Historical Society is pleased to offer two educational hands-on displays for teaching local history. Both boxes are self-guided and designed particularly for elementary and middle schoolchildren. They consist of artifacts from our collection that can be touched, books, photographs, and project ideas for the classroom .
Life Before Electricity
This hands-on display looks at what life was like in 19th and early 20th century Washtenaw County before the advent of electricity. Artifacts, books, photographs, and other educational materials for the teacher and students for this lesson are included in the box.
Hats to Spats
This box explores the development clothing both in general and in Washtenaw County through artifacts, photographs, and books.
Teachers interested in obtaining a Loan Box, please call (662-9092) or e-mail (wchs-500@ameritech.net) the Museum on Main Street. Boxes may be rented for $15 each plus a $50 deposit.
The loan boxes were developed by Ann Reynolds with a grant from the Ann Arbor Community Foundation.
