Learning is a trip…
Structured programs are offered to students in grades 3, 4, 5 and 8, providing an up-close encounter with the past. Museum visit programs revolve around exhibit activities specifically tailored for each grade level.
The History Lab component will create hands-on experiences students won’t soon forget.
The Exhibit component encourages students to investigate history through an organized scavenger hunt while touring the Museum.
