Abstract
Visiting historical sites, local markets, or businesses can help students in an economics class connect abstract ideas to three-dimensional realities. We relate our experience with two types of trips: one focused on regional history and one in which students visited representative businesses. With some guided questions, the students are able to identify the forces of supply and demand at work in their own lives and communities.
