Truman Library and Museum
As part of our WTAMU Summer Institute, 2006, 32 history educators traveled to Independence, Missouri to spend time at the Harry S Truman Library and Museum. Not only did Library staff make available access to their archives, we modeled innovative ways to use primary sources in the classroom!
After we finished will the Cold War, we stepped further back in time to visit the National Frontier Trails Museum and the Arabia Steamboat Museum. I found both to be fascinating vignettes on life in the 19th century American West.
