Community Events and Cultural Resources
Social Studies aren't just found within the classroom. There are great learning opportunities in many communities across Missouri. From civil war battlefields to world class museums and archives, there is plenty to see and learn about across the state. Here are some optional social Studies-related learning opportunities outside the classroom that may interest you.
