Just for fun I checked online for additional "traveling trunks" that weren't listed with the NPS and discovered several inexpensive trunks of materials that were available for classroom / library use. Some of these are restricted to specific states or areas of the country, but many may be available to those outside or near those sponsoring the trunks. So, if you're planning a unique unit and want to find some materials now for the instruction process or for a library display, you might want to Google: traveling trunks (you might want to add your state's name to get specific trunks) There are tons of great free / inexpensive materials out there for your classroom or library!
