Our 4th graders made an exciting connection to what they’re learning in Benchmark about the Transcontinental Railroad by taking a field trip to the Henry Flagler Museum!
Students toured Flagler’s beautiful mansion and even walked through his personal railroad car. This car was part of the first overseas railroad, which connected the Florida Keys all the way to Key West.
It was an incredible hands-on experience that helped students see how innovation and transportation changed American history!🚂🛤️
