Archi-Teacher is a history and three dimensional art project
designed for third grade students to coordinate with the
History of Tustin Curriculum. It helps connect students to
the past and the physical and cultural landscape of their
community. The hands-on project illustrates and explains
the various styles of architecture found in the historic
structures in Old Town Tustin.

The Old Town Tustin Historic District celebrates its 25th
Anniversary in 2013, but many of its homes and commercial
buildings were built in the Primary Settlement period of
Tustin between 1880 and 1910.

Archi-Teacher presents 12 of these structures for the
students to study and construct by themselves and then
form into the village that was Tustin between the 1880’s and
the 1920’s. All but one of the structures are still in use
today. They can be viewed by the students as they tour Old
Town Tustin with their class or with their family. They can
see for themselves how our community has changed and how
it has stayed the same.

Also included are two early forms of transportation, the
horse-drawn trolley that ran in the late 1800’s and the
first motorized fire truck which is on display at the Tustin
Historical Museum.
