There’s no better way to feel like you’re part of history than to experience it, either by visiting the spot where it happened or participating in a hands-on program that lets you get closer to history. Experiential learning, which is a fancy way of saying that people learn through their experiences, helps people connect with the past and imagine what it would have been like to be a part of it.
 
Virtual field trips offer you a chance to visit places you might not be able to see otherwise. Sometimes, they’ll take you to places that are not normally open to the public. Other times, they give you an opportunity to see places that might be too far away to visit in person. Each of the “Moose on the Loose” virtual field trips will pose a question and then take you on an online journey to find the answer. Along the way, you’ll visit places around the state that will help you gather clues to help you answer the question and see history for yourself. You might even meet a few famous Granite Staters along the way. By the end of your virtual field trip, you should be able to answer the question and solve the history mystery!

New Hampshire Field Trips on “The New Hampshire Primary”

Field Trip
New Hampshire Historical Society
As part of the New Hampshire Historical Society’s field trip program, students learn about elections in the state and see memorabilia from the 1952 presidential primary.
Field Trip
New Hampshire State House
As part of the New Hampshire State House’s general tour, students visit key locations related to the New Hampshire primary, including the wall of candidates, which displays photographs of many presidential candidates when they come to the State House to file their candidacy. A small monument displaying plaques noting the winners of the New Hampshire primary is on display in front of the State Library across the street.
Voting Activity
Your Local Town Hall
Interview your town clerk, who oversees elections in your town and find out about all that goes into managing elections. Ask how presidential primary elections are different from town elections. If possible, visit a local polling place on election day.
