Who cares?
What does that have to do with me?
How should I know?
Why do I need to know that?
Any of those questions sound familiar? Let us help answer them! Our Time Travels Program offers students hands-on activities in our Museum Classroom and in-depth tours in related exhibit areas.
Your students will step into the Museum and be immersed in a particular period of history. On their field trip, students can:
- hear one of our life figures share their story of life in the Upcountry
- work with interactive exhibits to discover the past
- participate in lively discussions with our trained docents
- put their heads and hands to work
- share their discoveries with one another
The Museum provides a variety of programs designed to meet state Social Studies standards for specific grade levels. Our school field trips help teachers reinforce classroom learning and offer a unique hands-on experience.
School programs last approximately 2 hours.
Museum Tour Only
The Education Department also provides full Museum tours that do not include a classroom program. Please allow approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes for a full tour. Scavenger hunts are available at the end of the tour to help reinforce what students learned at the Museum. [30 student maximum]
