The
purpose of these programs is to get
your students and audience excited about learning,
reading and history!
I have taken my history-social studies programs
into schools for 9 years, sharing
them with literally thousands of students! Some
of my return clients are 5+ years in
a row.
My programs are an exploration of the
natural-cultural history of the 18th century
Eastern American frontier and the lifeways of
the historic woodland Indians & frontiersmen
through your choice of programs listed here.
School
of The Woods offers 7 ways to share early American
history with your students or patrons:

18th
Century Eastern Frontier Museum-Display
In
my years of education experience, I’ve
found that nothing captures the imagination
and stimulates educational excitement
quite like the up-close viewing of cultural
objects & artifacts. Appropriate for
any school or venue interested in the
forest dwelling eastern Woodland Indians
and the European Colonists of 1750-1820
America, our 100 square foot Display
of 200+ items beautifully represent
the cultural & natural history of
the 18th Century Eastern Frontier.
