Gurney Elementary third graders gained hands-on history lessons through a visit to the Chagrin History Center. The program, which aligns with Ohio's Social Studies standards, lets students explore local heritage through interactive exhibits featuring historical tools, period clothing, and vintage maps.
A highlight of each visit is exploring the center's preserved fire truck, while volunteer docents guide students through activities designed to demonstrate how the Chagrin community has evolved over time. The program transforms traditional history lessons into engaging, experiential learning opportunities that bring the past to life.
