NEW THIS YEAR…
A HISTORY OF SANDY SPRINGS: OLD SOUTH TO NEW SOUTH.
Now on video, this popular program is the most authoritative and up-to-date
history of Sandy Springs available. Based on oral histories and extensive
research, the program was initially produced for an adult audience. However,
a lively script and soundtrack, colorful stories, and fascinating images
make it suitable for advanced elementary, middle, and high school students.
There is no charge for borrowing the video.
For younger students (grades K-5), our traveling Native American Basket and History Trunk contain 'please touch' artifacts and can be borrowed for up to two weeks each. Accompanying teacher guides are based on Georgia QCC objectives and contain interdisciplinary activities with reproducible masters. There is no charge to borrow these materials. Local delivery is available within a limited range. Please contact the Program Director for reservations. Native American Basket
Traveling by foot and horseback along what is now Roswell Road, Georgia's
first residents once frequented the sandy springs for which the community
is now named. The Native American basket provides a glimpse into this period
through everyday objects such as a tomahawk, bow and arrow, moccasins, drum,
booger mask, Cherokee wedding vase, and many other items. History Trunk
As with the historic Williams-Payne House, the trunk interprets rural life
in the late 19th century. Artifacts are introduced through a series of letters
between fictional period characters. The objects include a butter churn,
candle mold, darning egg, kerosene lamp, lunch pail, readers, photos, slate,
quilt, cotton, dolls, toys, and other items relating to the period.
