Student Local History Project
For the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, the Vermont Historical Society will build a statewide, place-based learning opportunity for Vermont students tied to the C3 Framework of Social Studies Standards. Educators and students will study local history in partnership with local historical societies.
The All In Vermont project is a call for Vermont students to study Vermont’s inhabitants, notable events, industry, movements, and culture that demonstrate the state’s continued evolution since the revolution. Vermont’s landscape and waterways inform its collective history, and this project promotes community engagement with this knowledge. Through inquiry-based research, students will uncover the enduring history that makes their home unique and share it on a ArcGIS interactive map housed on both the Vermont Historical Society and the Vermont History Explorer websites.
The goal is to have all 252 towns and cities represented
by the end of the commemoration year 2026!
Two guides will be designed to be used in conjunction with one another: an Educator Guide and Local Historical Society Guide.
Guides will be available in August 2025.
