Field Trips

With an emphasis on inquiry-based learning, the History Center's six galleries combine hands-on and technology-based interactives that spark discussion and interest in both history and museums. We offer two (2) unique field trip programs, "Native American Life" and "Civics and Government" that are aligned to meet or exceed Georgia Standards of Excellence.
