Read About Women of the 18th Century
You will be receiving a welcome gift from us in the mail by early May!
If you have time (we know how busy everyone is!), please enjoy some content reading to help prepare you for discussions. Enjoy!
Take a Tour
Though we'll be visiting several sites on the Estate and you'll have some exploration time , we sadly won't have time for everything. If you'd like to view a few extra pre-filmed tours before we meet to help build your background knowledge (or following our time together to support your learning) here you go. Enjoy!
Send Greetings
Reach out to a teacher from your same state, someone with the same name, your roommate (to be posted following submission of all forms!), and/or anyone who is of interest to you to say hello from the Participant Information Sheet.
We can't wait to meet you and I'm sure your fellow cohort members feel the same!
