Grade 3 went to the Tate House (the only pre-Revolutionary War house in Greater Portland that is open to the public) on Friday, 6/7. It was the culminating activity for her Social Studies unit on the history of Portland. The students toured the house (which was built in the 1750s for Captain George Tate, Senior Mast Agent for the British Royal Navy) and learned about daily life by studying reproductions of common items from that period including clothing, kitchen items, and toys.
