Washington State History: Traveling Trunks

Follow Me on Pinterest

Collecting objects and information for an "artifact box" or "traveling trunk" can be a fun activity for a class or family.  Grants help many agencies put together extensive traveling trunks for public use.  Most trunks are designed to be shipped to your school location.

Each year my 4th grade class designs a "personal artifact" box.  They are limited to eight items.

Traveling Trunk Programs:

History Boxes

Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture

San Juan History

Whitman Mission

Natural History Center

Olympic National Forest 

Alaska National Park Educational Sites

Idaho State Historical Society
