Humanities Truck Community Archive

A neighborhood landmark, the Park & Shop is viewed as innovative by some and outdated by others. On April 27th, 2019, the Humanities Truck joined the Cleveland Park Farmers Market and gave visitors an opportunity to learn about the history of the Park & Shop and development in Cleveland Park. Along with an exhibit inside the Truck, viewers also drew neighborhood maps, and listened to and left stories about the neighborhood. American University Public History Master's students Isaac Makos, Maren Orchard, and Katie McCarthy researched and designed the Cleveland Park: Site of Imagination exhibit for their Spring 2019 Practicum class under the guidance of Professor Malgorzata Rymsza-Pawlowska. This collection contains photos from the 2019 event.
