Traveling Back in Time -- just around the corner from home!

Davisville Middle School students experienced a BEAUTIFUL day at the Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum this past week.  Students learned about the Rhode Island slave experience while at the same time they explored their own identity by creating self-portraits.  This museum houses the first snuff mill in the colonies.  Students learned about the history of snuff along with the dangers of snuff -- 60 cigarettes equals one tin of snuff!!
An amazing day thanks to the Museum staff and my colleagues.  I am proud to have introduced 85 students to this North Kingstown gem-- the Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum!
