Specialized NY History Workshop

This grant will bring New York during the Civil War to life through in-class workshops at MHS led by educators from the New York Historical Society. The lessons will focus and expand on how New Yorkers reacted to the U.S. Civil War and act as a supplement to the US History curriculum. In each session, students will examine primary sources and artifacts provided by the historical society to determine the causes and events surrounding historical events such as the New York draft riots.
