Building on the Past – Education

‘Save Our History’ Project

Armed with a grant from the History Channel we set out to challenge Botetourt Elementary fourth graders with a simple question, ‘What is a Plantation’. The students toured four Gloucester County plantation sites and documented with video, artistic sketches and written reports of what they found. Episode 1 of our 5 Part Video Series is seen below. Be sure to check out the entire video series and watch how these kids got involved in the history of their county.
