Connecticut History

Catalog description

The history of a place is more than just a  collection of dates and names - it is a hundred  thousand interconnected stories of people who  live there. In this class we will learn about  Connecticut, whose citizens have become some of  the most important and interesting Americans. But  even this limited history is practically endless,  with dozens of stories in every town, in every  family. So, by focusing on a small, yet  fascinating place we will hopefully find an  appreciation for the depth and breadth of history itself. We will also focus on the way that this history can be integrated into various classroom  settings, in order to link our students to the  place they live.
