Discover Your Place in History!

Bring history to life for your students with this free, standards-based curriculum that examines early settlement history through the lens of your hometown.

The sequence of the Colonial Quest Curriculum is driven by questions:

WHO were the first residents here?
WHERE did the colonists come from?
WHEN and WHY did they come?
HOW was our town chartered?
WHAT did the colonists do to establish this town?

The curriculum's approach integrates place-based education, primary source exploration, and service learning: students use maps and town charters to track movement and settlement; they find early settlers in old burial grounds; learn more about specific people using proprietor's records, the census and town histories; and share their learning via a Quest (educational treasure hunt).
