Focusing on a single region, this course will offer students several different thematic perspectives for exploring its history: life and death (demography); landscape and environment; work and technology; families and houses; schooling, literature and reading; patterns of community; material life; ritual and belief. It will alternate sessions between the classroom setting and Old Sturbridge Village, where the museum’s exhibits and collections will be part of the educational environment. It will seek to provide a variety of learning experiences while remaining firmly anchored in primary sources and historical scholarship.
