The Peculiar Purple Fog: A Book to Encourage Youth Engagement in Historic Preservation

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Jessica Radomski & Andrew Hart

Career-related pedagogies build interest in primary age children, yet they rarely highlight the field of historic preservation. This project created a children’s chapter book to introduce a nearby mid-century house’s story to local children. Feedback through virtual interactions indicated this was a useful method for engaging students and encouraging their participation in an underrepresented field.
