Fourteen students and two faculty trip leaders departed campus this afternoon to begin their travels to Chicago. For the next few days, students will explore the story of immigrants and refugees to the USA, in the 19th and 20th centuries, that came to NYC and then moved forward into the “US City of the 20th Century”, Chicago. The group will travel to Chicago with a one night stop in NYC where they will explore Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. In Chicago, students will visit historic sites and museums while uncovering the many stories of immigration of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
We look forward to reading the groups upcoming blog posts on Deerfield’s Notes from the Field!
