SMALL TOWN HISTORY COMES ALIVE FOR STUDENTS IN CARROLL COUNTY
Carroll County Public Schools has been working in partnership with the Historical Society of Carroll County to revitalize student tours at the Sherman-Fisher-Shellman House. This house, one of the first houses built in downtown Westminster, represents life in towns and small cities of the early 1800's.
Third grade students from Freedom Elementary School visited the house on Thursday, May 10, 2007, to learn about family living and how people, places, and events have changed in Carroll County over the last 200 years. Students participated in activities and time period experiences in the gallery, parlor, dining room, master bedroom, pantry, and kitchen.
This tour supports the Maryland Voluntary State Curriculum and Carroll County Public Schools' elementary social studies curriculum. Freedom Elementary School will serve as the pilot school for the new tour on May 10 th and will set the stage for future tours during the 2007-2008 school year.
