Harwich "Influencers" : A Walk Back in our Town History
"Grade 3 students took a walking field trip through the village of Harwich Center as a kick-off for our final Project Based Learning project of the year called “Harwich Influencers.” We introduced students to historic homes and families that impacted our town’s early history on the walk. Students were able to see the first one-room schoolhouse, an outhouse and powder house at Brooks academy, Elmer Crowell’s decoy carving exhibit, the cannons used in wars that sit at the entrance of Brooks Park, the old Brooks block, which houses our current library, the town trough and the site of the old exchange building, just to name a few! The walk concluded with a stroll through the First Congressional Church cemetery to see historic family names that they learned about on our walk."
