Grandmother Artifact Trunks

Imagine a trunk your grandmother might have tucked away somewhere, where they may have collected objects and stories over the years that one day might be passed on to you and your descendants. 

History Colorado’s Grandmother Artifact Trunks illustrate everyday life from the turn of the 20th century to the present day. Choose from three different communities:  African American, Hispanic, and Japanese American. Each trunk has 15-20 objects as well as lessons, biographies, and additional resources.
