The workshops will focus on the Birthplace of Country Music Museum's lesson plans, educational resources, classroom activities, and field trip opportunities AND the Tennessee State Museum's resources, activities, and lessons for teaching students about the Reconstruction Era (while this is a Tennessee-focused museum, the materials TSM shares will also be helpful and appropriate to Virginia educators).
