FAIRHAVEN While many classrooms are focused on propelling students forward, Hastings Middle School pulled its eighth grade students back through a walk down memory lane.
A virtual walk, that is. Chris Richard, director of tourism for the Fairhaven Office of Tourism, guided the students in Grace Galinha s media arts class through the virtual Henry Huttleston Walking Tour, typically given in person.
After learning about the town s architecture and rich history, Richard educated students on the evolution of postcards and how black and white photos of the town were shipped off to Germany for colorization, but most images would be slightly off-colored, something students found most intriguing.
