Museum Programs for Schools

Historic New England's school programs have earned national attention for the innovative ways they use historical resources to reinforce and enrich school curricula. Each program features a visit to a Historic New England house museum and extensive pre-visit and follow-up lesson plans and resources.

Students learn through a variety of approaches, including hands-on activities, role playing, drawing, and cooperative learning. Historic New England programs are fun, multi-disciplinary, and suited to a variety of learning styles. Please see our complete listing of Historic New England's school programs.
