A Sense of Place: Architecture, Culture and History in the Arkansas Delta is an Alex Foundation proposed six-day two-week residential workshop. This proposed workshop will bring together 60, 6th-12th grade(s) educators from across the United States to learn about the important contributions and characteristics of the Arkansas Delta with architecture as a focus.
This National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Landmarks of American History and Culture program will engage participants in learning about relevant Arkansas Delta landmarks and buildings of historical and cultural significance, from Prisoners of War internment prisons, cotton gins/commercial buildings, shotgun homes, paranormal homes and plantation homes to the African American, Asian American, Italian American, Native American, and Scottish American heritage that influence these places.
