Educational kits from Historical Society

The Wayne County Historical Society is making educational program kits available to schools, organizations and clubs.

Each kit contains artifacts and a guide, including an inventory, information about artifacts, a bibliography and teaching suggestions. Some kits also have accompanying slides and a script, which may be requested with a kit, or separately.

Some of the available kit topics are:

Trains and Trolleys of Wayne County
