Voices in Our Classrooms and Communities

Exploring the Past & Imagining the Future was a partnership between the Oakland-Genesee Writing Project and the Stockton House Museum in Spring Grove, Michigan that helped support the recovery of the museum through an innovative exhibit while engaging local teachers and students in the creation of related educational resources highlighting Flint’s history. The project invited museum partners and visitors to be participant-learners, artifact makers, and storytellers.
