Ever wish you could go back in time and experience the past? Let's go!

The Secret Annex

Anne Frank and her family were forced into hiding in the secret annex for more than two years during WWII. Explore the annex, and have a chance to think about how difficult it would have been to stay hidden inside for so long. It gives our "quarantine" a whole new perspective, for sure.

The Titanic

The Titanic sank in 1912 after striking an iceberg, after being billed as "unsinkable." Explore the Titanic in this virtual tour and take a virtual field trip to the Titanic Museum with these videos.

Colonial America

Explore a Wampanoag village with living history actors from the time of the Mayflower landing, or take a virtual tour of the Governor's Palace in Colonial Williamsburg.

Mayan Ruins

Use Google Earth to go back in time and explore the Mayan ruins alongside the archaeologist who first surveyed them in the 1880's.

American Battlefields

The American Battlefield Trust has virtual tours for battlefields from the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. Explore by the war with the dropdown box at the top of the list!

National Museum of African American History and Culture

Take a trip back in time and explore the African American experience through artifacts found in the African American History and Culture Museum's Stories, like stained glass from the Birmingham bombing, or Muhammad Ali's boxing gear.

Historical fiction is one of the best ways to experience history, and non-fiction gives you the facts about the events and places to get the background knowledge you need!
