Reflection of Winona Historical Society

There was a lot of new information about Winona that I came into contact with while we were at the Winona Historical Society. I really liked seeing the old version of the fire truck; it did not look safe to have near a fire. The people that gave the tours were very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I found the Winona Historical Society to be a very helpful resource to utilize for the upcoming unit project. I plan on going back there to find my primary sources I intended to use for my unit plan. After going to the Winona Historical Society I think that I am going to include Native Americans in part of my unit. I found a lot of ways to relate my unit theme to the history of Winona. The next step in my unit plan is to write out a rough outline about what I want to cover each day. I thought that this was a worthwhile field trip for our class to take. I would not have gone to the Winona Historical Society on my own.
