IECSS Members and Friends are invited to Tour of Patton State Hospital Museum 4:30 pm - Don't be Late - They Close the Gate! Patton Flyer.pdf
With more than 140 artifacts and six rooms, the Patton State Hospital Museum is one of only two such psychiatric museums in the entire Western United States. Join us as Shannon Long, director of the museum project, takes our participants on a special tour. Learn how much psychiatric treatment has changed in the last 100 years. This unique under-represented population has a story to tell. Learn more at http://abc7.com/society/museum-to-open-at-former-san-bernardino-insane-asylum/684341/
Later share in the discussion of the educational relevance of this and other actual and virtual museum tours in our classrooms. How can our own students benefit from and even create projects using local community resources?
