We Make History: Student Guided Tour & Hands-On Activity

Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum

We Make History invites students to discover that history is shaped by everyday people. Led by an ACM educator, this interactive tour uses artifacts, photographs, multimedia, and interactives to explore changemakers in Washington, D.C.
