'Lots" of History

The Lots of History project is an innovative educational partnership between the Greater Newark Conservancy, The Newark Museum, the New Jersey Historical Society, and the Newark Public Library. Lots of History is designed to involve teachers and students in using vacant lots as tools to reconstruct neighborhood histories. The vacant lot is a unique resource which lends itself to an integrated approach to teaching natural history (botany, zoology, geology), architecture, social history and research methods.
