Edu Curriculum & Activities
In partnership with Rivier University and Ruth Bidwell, Social Studies teacher and NHVCA Board member, we've developed a Comprehensive Learning Packet you can use when visiting the cemetery with your group.
Educators can use the learning activities whether learning on-site or online! Select the links below to view learning topics and access learning materials. If you need any custom materials or access to any of the activities to customize, just email admin@nhvca.org
