Revolutionary War Era Replicas Come to AP U.S. History

Penn High School teacher Eric Bowers found a way to bring history to life by bringing in the “Revolutionary War Traveling Trunk” from the American Battlefield Trust.

From playing cards to clothes to fold out paper fans, take a look below of some items the students had the opportunity to experience!
