To launch the entry event and generate excitement about the project, we invited Mr. Bill Dodd of Nash Farms to kick off the Civil War investigation. He did a phenomenal job demonstrating for students what an informative museum exhibit entails and giving students an overview of the war. He even agreed to serve as an ongoing resource for students as they dive in to their projects, which we appreciated. One of our students, Matthew, took him up on his offer and e-mailed him with a clarifying question about the Davis and Lincoln presidencies. Way to be proactive, Matthew!
