I grew up visiting art, history, and science museums in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. As my children grew up, I replicated that circuit. Emily and Josh are now old enough to explore and learn on their own. So I am basically a 24/7 tour guide for Eleanor. I received an extremely comprehensive classical education at Hunter College High School and Columbia University, so I can answer pretty much any question that my kid asks.
As we gather materials for honors projects centered around the history of the United States, I make sure to include references to current events. When you spend your entire life reading and visiting museums, you can see how the threads of the past connect to the fabric of the future.
