Last week, teachers joined us at the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum & Educational Center for a professional development workshop exploring the history, economics, and literary significance of the site. Participants toured the barn where A Farewell to Arms was partially written, heard from museum staff and the Writer-in-Residence, and discovered classroom resources to bring these connections back to their students. We would like to extend a special thank you to our partner, Arkansas State University Heritage Sites, for helping bring our Delta Days workshop to life!
