Investigating Wisconsin History | From Here To There

'Investigating Wisconsin History' helps students think like historians. Each program poses a 'history mystery' and then follows a variety of historical clues to solve it. As 'history detectives,' students analyze such clues as historical sites, oral histories, artifacts, maps and photographs. In putting together this historical evidence, they will form an image of the past and realize that history often involves multiple perspectives.
