Description
The Landmarks of American History and Culture program supports series of one-week residence-based workshops for a national audience of K-12 educators. NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops use historic sites to address central themes and issues in American history, government, literature, art, music, and other related subjects in the humanities. The goals of the workshops are to
• increase knowledge and appreciation of subjects, ideas, and places significant to American history and culture through humanities reading and site study;
• build a community of inquiry and provide models of civility and of excellent scholarship and teaching;
• provide teachers with expertise in the use and interpretation of historical sites and of material and archival resources; and
• encourage historical and cultural sites to develop greater capacity and scale for professional development programs.
NEH Landmarks Workshops are held at or near sites important to American history and culture (e.g., presidential residences or libraries; colonial-era settlements; major battlefields; historic districts; parks and preserves; sites of key economic, social, political, and constitutional developments; and places associated with major writers, artists, and musicians). Applicants should make a compelling case for the historical significance of the site(s), the material resources available for use, and the ways in which the site(s) will enhance the workshop.
