Students traveled to the museum during their history blocks to listen to a presentation by Dr. Jim Robusto and to see Mitchell's famous map. Students then wrote essays describing the legacy of John Mitchell. Dr. Robusto attended class periods to answer questions and assist students with organizing and preparing their essays.
