Summary:
"This CD ROm is designed to complement a visit to Shapiro House at Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It has also been designed to enhance American history curricula in schools throughout the country as part of Strawbery Banke's educational outreach program. Restored in 1997 to its 1919 appearance, Shapiro House recreates the home of Ukrainian-Jewish immigrants, Abraham and Sarah Tapper Shapiro and their American-born, ten-year-old daughter, Mollie. This disk not only provides a detailed interactive tour of their home, it also employs multimedia techniques to examine the broader story of immigration to this country. It offers an engagin journey into the past and into the unique character of Portsmouth's diverse Puddle Dock neighborhood."--Container.
