NEH Landmarks Summer Institute for K-12 Teachers

Spend a week in the beautiful seacoast of New Hampshire, where archaeology is revealing hidden histories of what happened when English colonists came to New England 400 years ago. Visit the places people lived (and died) and encounter the fragments they left behind, experiencing firsthand a much more complex colonialism than is captured in popular Thanksgiving tales.

Location: University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH

Application Deadline: March 5, 2025

Learn how to tell new stories of a dynamic colonial history that included all kinds of people, stories not captured fully in English documents from the time, such as this map of the Estuary made for the King of England in 1667.

“This program has helped me think more deeply about the complexity of human interaction with the environment over time, and the many stories of people and communities that deserve to be better understood and woven together into the fullest truth of a place.”
