Hands On Learning
The Portage County Historical Society has curated three traveling trunks which can be lent out to local educators. These trunks are full of historical and reproduction artifacts to supplement your local history lessons. We currently offer three themed trunks, with each one including images and stories relating the topic to Portage County. These themes are Turn of the Century Life, Farming, and Early Education.
