teaching 250

The Delaware Public Archives hosted Teaching Revolution at 250: An Educator Symposium as part of our Semiquincentennial programming. This special event brought together teachers, historians, and museum professionals to explore innovative ways of engaging students with the history of the American Revolution.

A Day of Collaboration and Discovery

Throughout the day, educators participated in interactive sessions, presentations, and discussions focused on connecting classrooms with primary sources, museum collections, and new educational tools. Attendees had the opportunity to:

  • Learn about new resources available for teaching the American Revolution.
  • Explore Delaware’s unique role in the nation’s founding.
  • Network with fellow educators and cultural organizations.
  • Experience hands-on activities designed to bring history to life.

A special thanks goes to our incredible partners who helped make this even possible: Delaware Historical Society, First State Heritage Park, and Delaware 250, and all the groups who brought their resources to share: Delaware Libraries, Delaware Historical and Cultural Affairs, Delaware Military Museum, Historic Lewes, New Castle Court House Museum, and New Castle Historical Society.

Continuing the Conversation

The symposium is part of our ongoing commitment to support educators as we approach the nation’s 250th anniversary. We will continue to host programs, develop teaching resources, and share tools that make Revolutionary-era history accessible and inspiring for students of all ages.
