Gateway Writing Project
Exploring How Primary Sources & Place-Based Writing Can Expand Our View of the World
This project, run by Gateway Writing Project at the University of Missouri-St. Louis , worked in partnership with the Gateway Arch National Park and Missouri Botanical Garden to design field trip experiences that bring together primary sources and place based writing. The goal of the project was to broaden the definition of literacy by asking students to approach the park’s museum as a text/source for writing. The project trained in-service teachers in the use of digital primary sources from the Library of Congress, provided immersive field trip experiences, and closed with the in-service teachers sharing their experiences with the broader Gateway Writing Project network.

I can see why you are excited. I frequently am inspired by visits to museums, historic sites etc. I use that inspiration for research and writing some of my posts in this network. Please keep us posted.
