The Ice House Museum has numerous artifacts that will soon be searchable on our website that can be brought to your classroom for a private lesson.  Whether your lesson begs for the enrichment of an original Civil War Soldier's letter written from the battlefield, or a 2 million year old fossil that came from SE Texas, imagine the memory-enhancement of such a lesson for your students. Perhaps you are studying medicine and science and you had the opportunity to have your students hear from the descendent of a 19th century doctor, and see his instruments and medications.  Or perhaps a story in the use of the centuries-old treatment of a "madstone" for snake bite or the bite of a mad dog might enhance your classwork.
