If buildings could talk, they would tell us all about the people who built them, maintained them (or allowed them to deteriorate), found new uses for them, and inhabit them now. Students can find out a great deal about Wisconsin history and the history of their local communities by studying the built environment. "Wisconsin's Built Environment" introduces students to a selection of the structures that together tell some of our state's many stories. It contains 22 pairs of photographs on separate perforated pieces of 8.5" x 11" inch card stock and a 68-page Teacher's Guide with background information and suggestions for classroom activities and student explorations. This resource encourages students to get out into the local community and explore history through real-life investigations.
