From July 2022 at the Oliver Kelley Farm in Elk River, participants will explore content related to 19th-century agricultural and farming history, technological innovations that impacted production and family, and subsistence vs. market economics. Teachers will also learn about and experience historic site interpretation at one of the Society's much-loved historic sites. In period-appropriate clothing, participants will job-shadow historic site employees and engage in historical interpretation themselves. Teachers will return to their classrooms with an instructional video documenting this experience.

"How would you like to spend a week discussing your passion for American history with distinguished university professors, traversing Minnesota's historic Iron Range, and planning activities for your students? Would you like to experience the geography, geology, the mines and their contributions to American history, as well as the differing ethnic and immigrant populations in order to bring the learning out of the books and into living history?
"The story of Minnesota's Iron Range is rarely, if ever told. It is absent from general treatments of American history, absent from examinations of industrial America, and absent from studies of the U.S. military build-ups in the first and second World Wars; the Iron Range appears as only a footnote in historical treatments of the American steel industry. The history of the people who came to work these mines is part of the history of Americans; it is the story of immigrants, of conflict and assimilation, of people creating lives for themselves, their families, and for others.
"School teachers, university scholars, and museum curators will explore this story during [this] week-long teacher workshop developed by the Minnesota Humanities Center."
