Using & Writing Lessons

Do you know a historic place that could be the basis of a good lesson plan? Somewhere that embodies America's history, either as the site of a regionally-important event or one that shows how national issues affected local developments? Consider writing a lesson plan using instructions for the classic, long-form Teaching with Historic Places (TwHP) model or the "lightning lesson" model. You can also use the (H)our History lesson model.
