Welcome Educators & Parents!
Delaware County Historical Society Curriculum Support Webpages
The Curriculum Support Committee of the DCHS, mostly composed of retired educators, was established to create programs based on the local history of Delaware County for our county schools and other educational settings. Our programs offer a variety of formats from in-person presentations to online presentations, often with accompanying standards-based lesson ideas, handouts and extension activities.

School isn’t always inside the classroom, so our committee members put together videos, slide shows, and links to many age-appropriate historical activities to support learning about Delaware County. These resources include many lesson plans, rubrics, and readings.
In order to keep our facilities open and operating, we have a fee structure to help maintain our program offerings. These fees are listed with each program. Scholarship funds may be available as donations allow.
Read a little about how the Curriculum Committee got started and continues educational outreach today. In some years, we have met over 3500 students in a single year.
The Curriculum Committee has received a helping hand from many organizations, groups, and individuals around the county. This help often comes in the form of a financial contribution to support scholarships or needed items to make our program outreach even greater or to help those schools who lack funding for field trips. Take a look at some of our benefactors and give them a thank you the next time you see them in our community.
