The museum's eight chronological areas feature artifacts, images, and life-size environments that evoke places in time. A ready-made reference area in the center of the exhibit provides a place to delve deeper into exhibit topics. This guide is intended to help teachers prepare their intermediate and middle-level students for visiting the museum and to make authentic connections to Kentucky Department of Education curriculum documents. Contents of the guide include: a diagram of the exhibit; a listing of exhibit links to social studies, arts, language arts content, and processes in the "Program of Studies for Kentucky Schools"; touring guides that explain the orientation program and suggest ideas for motivating students in the galleries; ideas for developing writing assignments based on the museum; exhibit guides that describe the chronological areas and list details to explore; and resource lists that suggest adult and children's books that can be used for follow-up activities.
