Today my social studies class at the university took a field trip and visited the Northern Indiana Center for History here in town. Seeing that there are some awesome historical resources so close to home really allowed my classmates and I to have an idea of how we can implement authentic historical activities into our future classrooms. The tour I decided to take led us through the Oliver Mansion. It is located near downtown South Bend. The mansion was beautiful (and enormous of course)! Almost every item in the house was left by the last Oliver's who lived there. Our tour guide took us through each room and gave us its history.
