Our
Purpose
In a day when so
much emphasis has been placed on the future, often times our heritage and vast amounts of
American history have become things of the past. The purpose of Heritage
Keepers of America,
through it's educational materials and programs is to inform grade school, middle school
and high school students the importance of knowing their own individual heritage as well
as their local, state and national heritage.
The Heritage Keeper
of America materials in no way or form are to be considered a replacement or alternative for a
school's curriculum. Our studies and programs are designed to compliment the
curriculum a school already has in place.
As a student's awareness and acquired knowledge about history and heritage
increases, his desire to participate in preservation activities will also increase.
Heritage preservation activities such as family tree research, historical marker and
monument placement, historical landmark restoration and historical celebrity recognition
will be encouraged. The outgrowth of knowledge should assure that future generations
will understand the importance of heritage preservation.
1. Oral Presentation:
A Heritage Keepers of America representative will visit in the classroom or before an assembly
to address the students in the public schools of Tennessee and surrounding states on the
subject of heritage preservation. Associated
topics on family lineage and how our family tree is rooted into American history will be
the primary subject. Other topics such as how local personalities, locations and/or
events fit into the scheme
of state and national history will be explored on a secondary basis. No less
emphasis though will be placed on this subject. In closing, the importance of
preserving heritage treasures will be emphasized.

2. Living
History Events: A Heritage Keepers of America representative will encourage students to attend
and/or participate in an event that recreates portions of American history. These
Living History events or re-enactments are excellent teaching tools as they give students
first hand experience on how past generations once lived in our country.
3. Print
or Electronic Media: A Heritage Keepers of America representative will distribute print material
on the subjects of family lineage research and the significance of knowing how local
history fits into the fabric of state and national history. Preservation methods and
activities will also be listed in the publications.
Audio and video presentations will also be utilized to further educate the
students on the importance of heritage preservation and the consequences of inaction.
