Abstract	Every summer, with financial support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), more than 2,500 teachers from across the U.S. participate in advanced study programs in the humanities that range from one to six weeks in length. Most of the programs are conducted at institutions of higher learning, both within the U.S. and abroad, and many are held near sites of particular relevance to the topic of study. Teachers who have participated in these programs repeatedly note the value of exploring history, literature, and culture where it was actually made. This article presents the experiences of teachers who participated in a Mt. Vernon workshop. The Mt. Vernon workshop, which was organized by the Bill of Rights Institute in partnership with George Washington's Mt. Vernon Estate and Gardens, was just one of many "onsite" humanities-related workshops funded by the NEH. (ERIC).
