Integrate History & Steam Concepts

Learn from various experts from Mount Vernon’s Historic Trades and Historic Preservation teams through presentations on topics such as livestock, horticulture, gardening, smithing, spinning, cooking, milling, distilling, and more!

Gain confidence in integrating history and STEAM concepts in an interdisciplinary context to support student learning while building a network of local peers.
