A few weekends ago I visited Asylum Point Park. It is at the site of the former county asylum. They have a lighthouse on an island and as you can see the bridge is out. They were supposed to fix it, but COVID threw everyone's plans into turmoil. It was a nice hike and saw the old cemetery. This old cemetery contains the remains of the inmates of the asylum and their graves are marked by numbers.

 Took a trip around the countryside and discovered this lovely. Perhaps at one point it was a general store. It is on a busy county road. It isn't a very welcoming place today, but I bet in the past it was a hoppin' spot! Hopefully one day it can be fixed up. With a good wifi connection, the owners could have offered this place as a "learning pod," during these COVID times.
Location is Rural Oconto County and there is a Private Property Sign in the building. Take only pictures and leave only tire tracks or footprints.

Simon is back! This channel explores the world and all it's unique places. Teachers and students alike should be able to find something to learn about. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHKRfxkMTqiiv4pF99qGKIw 
I found this fantastic channel on YouTube about historical figures. If you're a teacher and you need a quick clip about a historical figure for your class this is the channel for you. It's called Biographics and Simon is a fantastic narrator. You can learn about Jackson Pollock or Richard Wagner, you can learn about mass murderers or aviators through this channels. There are a variety of historic figures featured on the channel and there is no excuse to not find someone interesting to learn about! Channel Link: www.youtube.com/channel/UClnDI2sdehVm1zm_LmUHsjQ I developed a short worksheet to go with the Biographics Channel that teachers can use in their classroom whether it is real or virtual.
Ruth Goodman, Peter Ginn, and Tom Pinford are at it again! This time helping build an 13th Century French Castle. Each episode tackles an aspect of castle building: from setting up a temporary home for the castle workers, to blacksmithing, to stonework, millwork and creating a castle home. This not only is a fantastic series for a world history classroom but a math class and STEAM class. It makes one appreciate the skill in castle building and anyone should find something to learn from this series. When I subbed in a middle school history class, the students were working on a project involving the Medieval period, so I showed them the first episode of the this series to help give them ideas for their class projects! The class responded well to the video and I ended up showing the second episode in a study hall class. This castle is part of the world's longest archaeological experiment.
