Time Travel to 1912

A living history experience which takes New Mexico students back to 1912.

Using a teachers’ manual to Time Traveling created by Dr. Jon Hunner, Public History Director, Time Travel Coordinator and posted on the New Mexico State University’s Public History Program web site, teachers from around the state use these materials to bring the year of statehood alive in the classroom.

The Time Travels project is an innovative and engaging way to teach about New Mexico history.
