Album Description
Inspired by this post from 2012--Path to the Presidency: Catching the Voter’s Eye--I went on a search for historical campaign ephemera on the Library and 2020 campaign swag on the web. Below are links to source sets found.

Teaching Notes
I recently completed this puzzle that depicts campaign buttons from the 20th and early 21st centuries. It was a trip down memory lane, a time to re-learn and a time to reflect. A puzzle such as this could be an engaging learning tool accompanied by research into historical information and ephemera shared in this album.
