Congratulations! You have done some hard work as historians. Asking a question, finding and interpreting primary source documents that can help you answer that question, and then creating a visual display of what you have learned is challenging work.

The Museum of American History has accepted your exhibit and will be displaying it on-line so that students all over the world can learn about the transformation of the United States from a rural, agricultural nation to an urban, industrial one between 1880 and 1920.The museum’s directors were so impressed with your work that they have written you a memo; check your class’ in-box to find yours!
