School Partnership Programs

Young Historians in the Field

We collaborate with a select number of schools each year to design project-based learning experiences for their students. Using primary sources documents from museum’s collection and guidance from our Education staff, we’ll work together to sharpen your students’ research and literacy skills during this multi-visit outreach program.
