Dear Colleague,
The Tsongas Industrial History Center warmly invites you to join us at Lowell National Historical Park, Lowell, Massachusetts, for a week-long summer Landmarks Workshop, Inventing America: Lowell and the Industrial Revolution, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Teachers of history, language arts, science, technology, and math will find Lowell a most engaging classroom.
This six-day (Sunday night through Friday) residential teacher workshop uses the rich resources of Lowell National Historical Park, Old Sturbridge Village, and Concord, MA, museums and historic sites to offer learning experiences during the following weeks: June 27 – July 2, and July 11 - 16, 2010. Teachers selected to participate will receive a stipend of $1200 at the end of the workshop session. Stipends are taxable and intended to help cover travel expenses to and from the project location, books, and ordinary living expenses.
