Life in the Yard

In partnership with the USS Constitution Museum, students explore the three groups of people who lived and worked in the Charlestown Navy Yard over its nearly 200 year operation. By examining historical images, students interpret primary resources which help to illustrate the lives of sailors, workers and families who called the working landscape home, if only for a short while.

This program is offered at the Charlestown Navy Yard.

National Parks of Boston

The National Parks of Boston is a constellation of three unique National Park Service sites - Boston National Historical Park, Boston African American National Historic Site, and Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park. The National Parks of Boston works in partnership to preserve the resources associated with each site, provide meaningful place-based teaching and learning experiences, and engage our communities to encourage them to act as stewards for the future of their parks.
