Historic Howeville
The Nature Museum, in cooperation with the Grafton History Museum and the Warren family of Grafton, has created a new program to offer schools. Historic Howeville is a program that explores Howeville, a once thriving Grafton village that has disappeared back into the forest. This program explores the relationship between the landscape and early settlement. It focuses on how the land effected where Grafton’s first residents settled; how they changed the landscape and how the land is covering over the signs of man’s activities.
As a new offering to schools, this program was designed to meet state learning standards for both history and science.
The Nature Museum is very excited to be partnering with the History Museum in town, as well as local land owners. We believe this new program touches on one of our core beliefs at the Museum that integrating different subject matters leads to deeper connections and understandings in learning. We hope that this program will encourage us to develop more and greater collaborations between our organization and others in town.
