Elementary Classroom Presentations

Our classroom presentations are designed for young elementary age children. A qualified museum professional brings these presentations to your classrooms or sites. They are available for $30.00 for our educational members or $60.00 for non-member schools and children groups.

Inside the Longhouse
Learn about the first people who lived in Pennsylvania thousands of years ago, and how they used the natural environment to supply all of their needs. Sit around a 'campfire' and hear legends and lore of the Susquehannock Indians. Learn Indian sign language and see artifacts they made and used.

Can You Dig It?
Archaeology in the classroom! Students will participate in an archeological dig and discover how archaeologists fit the pieces together from long ago in order to interpret a lifestyle from the past.

What's In Style?
Students will examine styles of clothing and accessories throughout American history, and then consider how they reflect women's historic place in society.
