The Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia has a new educational space. It mirrors the neighborhood that once occupied the spot where the museum stands.
While at the Museum, I was given a tour of their new educational space, Revolution Place which is on the lower level of the museum. Curator Mark Turdo spoke with me about this exciting new space for children to learn about the Revolution and the hands-on experience incorporated there. He also told me stories of how children interact with the core exhibition space. Later that day,
Adrienne Whaley Senior Manager of K-12 Education showed me one of the interactive computer displays. It depicts the neighborhood around the museum on a period map.
One of my favorite parts of the Museum other than the memorial wall depicting images of Last Muster individuals is Washington’s tent. Mark shared some details.
