Trekking Through History
Traveling Backpacks
Available August, 2011
In the past, teachers have asked us about borrowing our discovery boxes to use in their classrooms. To answer these requests, we have developed Trekking Through History Traveling Backpacks of 6 of our most popular discovery boxes that are full of hands-on artifacts, activities for your class, DVDs, and a CD of the digital files of the activities that is yours to keep! Through a generous grant from our support group, the Friends of the Alabama Archives, you will only pay $10.00 for the shipping of the backpack. Because we have a limited number of these, you will want to make your reservations early. Reservations will begin August, 2011. These are the available Trekking Through History Traveling Backpacks:
- Archaeology
- Cotton
- Civil War
- Flight and Space
- Southeastern Indians
- Statehood and Symbols
