Join along as we learn the history of one of our national holidays, Memorial Day. We will use slides, photos, videos, and storytelling to explore the origins of Memorial Day, from small community gathers to the first large observance at Arlington National Cemetery. We will learn about why the nation needed national cemeteries and memorials after the Civil War. We will also explore more modern celebrations on this day. The class will end with a trivia game all about this special holiday.
