@FordsEdu The Fort McNair and conspirators cour room and hanging site tour along with the Fords Theater brought those events to life. #FordsEdu #teachCivilWar #TeachReconstruction

@FordsEdu @MrRossiNMS Yes, we learned how a monument tells us more about the time in which it was erected than even the subject it commemorates. #FordsEdu #TeachCivilWar #TeachReconstruction

These summer programs immerse you into the sites and primary sources directly related to the Civil War. All can be brought right back into your classroom. #FordsEdu
