Traveling TrunkOur Traveling Trunk and accompanying lesson materials provide a standards-based, cross-curricular exploration of Civil War-era life for a middle-class family living in Marietta, Georgia. Students analyze primary documents and artifacts to interpret facts about three members of the Root family. The trunk contains reproductions of actual letters and objects relevant to each family member.
