Fort Benton High School

1997-98

Students explored their community using themes from geography: location, movement, human-environment interaction, and region or realm. Students collected information from libraries, community members, newspaper archives, the county courthouse and the Montana Agricultural Museum, among others. Compilations of this information were used to create Fort Benton web pages, for a Heritage Night which attracted two hundred community members, and to create a video and research papers of their findings.
