SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS
NOT ALL CLASSROOMS HAVE FOUR WALLS ...
Bring history to life for your students with a trip to the National First Ladies Library & Museum. Suitable for public school, private school, and home school, our educational programs and exhibits are designed for diverse age groups and are created to stimulate curiosity and critical thinking.
Proudly affiliated with Twinkl, we seamlessly integrate their educational resources to enhance the learning experience for all students. With prominent themes such as leadership and the empowerment of women, a museum field trip is sure to be an informative experience not only for students but for chaperones as well.
History isn’t just about looking back on the past. It’s about teaching the current generation and inspiring them through the triumphs and accomplishments of the past in order to shape the next wave of leaders in our country. There’s no better way to invest in our future than to educate, and a museum field trip to teach about our nation’s great First Ladies serves just that purpose.
