    Hi Barbara,
    Please check out the Museum of Goddess History and Culture along with The Goddess Temple of Orange County for information on the matriarchal origins of religion.
     
    Thank you and good luck with your project.

    Since 2006, Mount Vernon, has been interpreting religion in the life of George and Martha Washington through a small permanent exhibit and video presentation in the Education Center, as well as through the display of pertinent objects in the books and manuscripts gallery in the Museum.  Religion was also drawn into the program for the 200th anniversary of George Washington's death, when we reenacted his funeral.

    Take a look at the latest issue of Transformations; The Journal of Inclusive Scholarship and Pedagogy.  It has a couple of articles of interest for your work: Rebecca Alpert's "Religion in Philadelphia for General Education" on tours her students devised of religious sites, and Lincoln Mullen's "Using Metadata and Maps to Teach the History of Religion" on his students' work on sites in Boston.
    best,
