Learn Through History
The Mary Brandon Yancey House Virtual Museum isn’t just about preserving the past; it’s about turning history into a vibrant, engaging experience for learners of all ages. Whether you’re a student completing a school project or an educator looking for new lesson materials, our educational resources aim to shed light on the African American experience, foster critical thinking, and inspire deeper exploration of local and national history.
Look for volunteer opportunities, oral history collection drives, or local heritage events featured on our News and Events page. These activities allow students to apply their learning in real-world contexts.
Schools, libraries, and youth organizations can partner with the Mary Brandon Yancey House Virtual Museum for specialized tours, guest speaker sessions, and interactive workshops.
Education empowers individuals to understand and shape the world around them. By examining the history of the Mary Brandon Yancey House, Grasty Library, and the surrounding community, learners gain:
Recognize how larger national movements—like civil rights and educational advocacy—take root at the local level.
Learn to appreciate the complexities of lived experiences and the resilience of marginalized communities.
Draw inspiration from community builders of the past to engage in advocacy and leadership in today’s world.
