Capitol Brochure- This Brochure is great for students to read through. It has a brief history and shows some of the changes the capitol building has been through. It is also an artifact from the actual site, which many students may never get to visit and this is a way for them to see what types of things they hand out. The capitol is one of the symbols of our government. It is the home of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Picture of Statue of Liberty- The Statue of Liberty, also known as “Lady Liberty” is one of our symbols of freedom. This is one of the first symbols that were seen by immigrants coming into Ellis Island. She is located on Liberty Island on the New York Harbor. Everything that she is made up of has meaning of some kind and relates to our nation’s history.



Money- Money is something that is not only a symbol itself, but it also has many symbols on it. On the back of a one dollar bill there is a bald eagle, which is one of our nation’s symbols. On other bills there are symbols such as the Lincoln memorial, White House, Capitol, Independence Hall, U.S. treasury and some of our presidents.
