MUSEUM-IN-A-BOX
Museum-in-a-Box is our interactive Traveling Trunk program designed to bring the world of the North Union Shakers directly to the classroom. Filled with hands-on artifacts, images, lesson materials, and flexible activities, this resource helps students explore Shaker life through engaging, inquiry-based learning. By examining real objects, reading stories, and participating in creative tasks, students build a deeper understanding of Shaker history, values, and community life—all before visiting the Shaker Historical Society. Our goal is to inspire curiosity, strengthen historical thinking skills, and help learners see the connections between the past and the world they live in today.
For more information or to reserve our Traveling Trunk, please contact education@shakerhistory.org
The Museum-in-a-Box program was made possible through the generous support of The Arminius Foundation.

CLEVELAND'S LIBERTY ROW
The purpose of this website is to bring to life the personal and military stories of some of the soldiers from the Cleveland, Ohio area who died in World War I. As part of a tree memorial established in 1919 and known as Liberty Row, Cleveland attempted to immortalize 850 of its more than 1,000 war dead.
The 51 soldiers profiled in this website are a subset of an unknown number of soldiers who were commemorated in the Shaker Heights' and Cleveland Heights' geographic section of Liberty Row. The exact numbers are unknown because of inaccuracies in the existing list of names of the dead and the disappearance of some of the bronze plaques that bore their names. In the future, the research begun here may expand to include information about soldiers who were honored in other sections of the memorial.
