Follow your family's history and you will discover America's history. Each of us has stories we pass on, like family heirlooms, which define us and connect us to distant places and significant events. This guidebook provides 15 ways that you can preserve family memories and treasures through activities that make history an exciting adventure for your entire family, complete with many examples of how other families have discovered and saved their own stories. Includes a resources list: books, films, Amer. stories, regional, national, and state, and places to visit. Lavishly illustrated with full-color photos.
