WSHM Field Guide to the Hall of Washington History

The WSHM Field Guide contains three main elements—helpful hints on how to plan a museum visit, exhibit background information and “expedition notes,” student activity sheets for use in the museum’s Great Hall. Because there is never enough time to see and read everything during a single museum visit, the Field Guide also includes much of the exhibit text as well as information on what museums are and why they exist. Inside this book, you’ll also find vocabularies, bibliographies, and related projects to help you and your students make connections from past to present. 126 pages. Written by Stephanie Lile (ed.) 2nd edition, published 2001 (the original publication date is 1997).
