I don't know if this is quite what you're interested in, but the Ohio
Historical Society is developing a series of hands-on programs for
elementary students and they field-tested the Underground Railroad one at my
site (John Rankin House) last week. OHS staff and members of our local
historical society played the parts of: Rev. Rankin, Mrs. Rankin, John
Parker (an African American UGRR conductor), a fugitive and a federal
marshall. Fourth graders from our local public and Catholic school had the
opportunity to meet these historical figures and to role-play fugitives and
free blacks who wanted to emigrate to Ohio. I am not actually an OHS
employee; rather, I'm employed by our local historical society, so I
don't know a great deal about their plans, but you can go to
www.ohiohistory.org and probably find out more.
