Bring the period 1860 to 1910 to life in your school!

There is no better way to stimulate young minds than multi-modal learning. That is why our Hands-On Museum has proven so popular throughout the United States.

These items are the real thing! Over the last ten years, we have collected an amazing array of items which both reflect the period 1860 to 1905 and can also be directly experienced by young learners. Nearly half of the items are actually 100 years old or more! The rest are wonderful, accurate reproductions.

This is a HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE! Our displays involve all the senses and “intelligences!” The display items are meant to be picked up, sensed, used, tried, played with and questioned.

LOTS TO DO! 215 objects representing over 75 separate experiences are divided into seven separate displays:
CLOTHING/DRESS-UP
SCHOOL DAYS
DAILY LIFE
ENTERTAINMENT
PHOTOGRAPHY/STEREOSCOPY
ICONS OF THE ERA — TWAIN ~ LINCOLN ~ EDISON
