Website of the Week

America's Story is a site brought to you by the Library of Congress. It was designed especially with young people in mind, but there are great stories for people of all ages, and children and their families will want to explore this site together. You can discover what Abraham Lincoln had in his pockets on the night he was assassinated. (You will be surprised.) Or you can read about Buffalo Bill Cody and his "Wild West" show; the heroism of Harriet Tubman, who helped many slaves escape bondage; the music of jazz great Duke Ellington; or the inventions of Thomas Edison. (You will even be able to see his first motion picture!) So take some time to explore what the site has to offer!
