NEW EDUCATION KIT AVAILABLE ON LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION
Poplar Forest Newsletter, Spring 2003  

In line with the start of the Lewis and Clark anniversary, Poplar Forest this year added Lewis and Clark to its offerings of education kits.

The kits are circulated free of charge to schools and home schoolers upon request. In the Lewis and Clark kit, students will use maps, timelines, and hands-on activities to learn about Jefferson’s vision for the Corps of Discovery and the expedition itself. Students will explore transportation and scientific methods employed during the mission, as well as Native American tribes encountered during the expedition.

The material is geared to students in grades 4-7. To request a kit, please telephone (434) 534-8108.

Poplar Forest offers three other education kits free of charge. These kits provide an overview of Jefferson and Poplar Forest (grades 1-5), look at the life of enslaved workers through archaeological research (grades 1-6), and explore childhood and games in colonial times (grades 1-5).
