As a five-time recipient of National Endowment for
the Humanities (NEH) grants and one of the only sites
in the Midwest to offer the Landmarks in American
History workshops, The Henry Ford will offer teacher
workshops on America’s Industrial Revolution. Join
teachers from all over the country to experience 150
years of technology evolution in a week. Explore new
themes and historic sites each day; interact with scholars,
museum curators, public historians/dramatic presenters
and master teachers; and experience 150 years
of technology evolution in a week. Past participants
have declared our workshops “outstanding,” “inspiring”
and “the best professional development experience that
I have had in 16 years of teaching.” Industrialrevolution@thehenryford.org is your gateway to answers should questions arise, or you may call Dorothy Ebersole at 313-982-6036.
