Tool Cards
Historical Forensics offers five different decks of Tool Cards. There are cards focusing on the tools used in the processes of making butter, making maple syrup, and harvesting ice. The General Tool Cards deck focuses on tools used in the barn and home on small 19th century farms. The fifth deck explores changes to the New England landscape using photographs of the Harvard Forest Dioramas. These decks of cards offer a manageable way for children to interact with 19th century artifacts. The cards incorporate more than 100 photographs and prints from The Billings Farm & Museum, The Henry Sheldon Museum, and The Library of Congress.
