All in Vermont invites local historical societies to play a vital role in commemorating the 250th anniversaries of Vermont and the nation by partnering directly with classrooms to bring history to life. This initiative connects students with the rich collections, expertise, and stories held within their own communities, creating meaningful, place-based learning experiences rooted in authentic primary sources.

This session will introduce the All in Vermont project, walk through its core components, and provide practical guidance on working with teachers and students. Participants will also engage in hands-on exploration of primary sources and learn how to support students in building strong, research entries using collections materials.
