Have you heard about traveling trunks? The National Museum of the Marine Corps (outside Washington D.C. near Quantico Marine Corps base) offers Traveling Trunks. (Scroll down this page to the bottom.). Here and here are brochures about the Marine Corps Museum’s traveling trunks. The Smithsonian Libraries have Traveling Trunks, too. Here is a sample from Nice Tu Meet You. These are free. Scrutinize the online contents carefully. The website has the contents of each trunk. The contents page load slowly.
The Richmond National Battlefield Park has this traveling trunk. Homestead, Nebraska has several trunks available, such as the Buffalo Trunk. There is a trunk from Project EduBat with a list of contacts across the U.S. The National Park Service in Gettysburg offers a trunk.
Loads and loads of traveling trunks. I’ve borrowed trunks. Timing is essential. Your Co-op may be doing a specific history lesson. Look at the contents online in advance. Call the contact directly and see if the trunk is available. Be sure to ask about any fees, such as return shipping. Check nearby museums and ask if they have traveling trunks available on loan. Fun, right?
