Traveling Trunks

What was everyday life like in colonial America? Dive into our traveling trunks to experience the past! Students will have the opportunity to explore 18th century clothing, foodways, work, and leisure activities through the lens of both Moravian and broader colonial American culture. Each trunk includes curriculum guides, suggested classroom activities, and instructions for supplemental home learning activities. Curriculum guides can be tailored to meet teacher or class level needs. Topics include colonial Nazareth history, colonial American history, and colonial Moravian history. This program is geared towards grades 3-5. 

• Traveling trunk curriculum guides are created in alignment with PA state and (where possible) local curriculum standards.
