Our 1759 Vought House non-profit asked for quotes from the school district to include in a flyer we’re mailing next month.  Got great quotes.  Looks like they’re not just on board, finally, but actually excited about having a museum at the Clinton Twp. Middle School:

Mr. Kevin Carroll – Superintendent of Schools  “The partnership that will be formed between the Clinton Township School District and the 1759 Vought House will provide the children of the community an opportunity to experience history at their doorstep. This landmark building will be a showcase for our students as they learn about the Revolutionary era.”

Ms. Bobbie Felip – Director of Curriculum  “The opportunity of having a historical building in partnership with our schools will afford children a unique experience in understanding a portion of the social studies curriculum. From learning about family and community in the younger grades to reinforcing more specific content in the older grades, it will help bring history to life in a much more meaningful way.”

Mr. Gerard Dalton – Principal, Clinton Township Middle School  “The Vought House will offer opportunities for future generations to learn how history and geography have shaped our region. The proximity of the location to our schools and others within the region make it a viable resource for instructional activities.”
