Neighborhoods in Time Project Scrapbook Goal: To learn about how your community has changed over time Today you might live in a small community, a town, a big city, or maybe the country. But do you know who lived there one hundred years ago? Or two hundred years ago? Even if you live in a new housing development, people used the land in different ways long before you were born. Some of our communities are very old and have been settled for over 300 years. Other communities are new. But the land has been used in many ways during the history of our country. Maybe where you live was once a big farm. Maybe it was a hunting ground for Native Americans. This project lets you be an explorer into the past. How has your town changed over a long period of time? You can learn about your community's past by contacting your local library, a historical society, or a museum. Your Girl Scout Troop Leader or teacher can help you. Use the "Neighborhoods in Time" Scrapbook as a guide for putting together the information that you learned.
