Programs for Kids

Discovering History Education Program
Our Museum Educator provides historically based programs utilizing the Museum collections to enhance learning while keeping the current state standards in mind.  The main portion of the program traces the development of the Northport area from pre-1656 to the present.  Integrated lessons on family life, communities, the effect of natural resources on local economy, or general history have been created to fit the Social Studies curriculum for Kindergarten through Fifth grade.  Or, if you prefer, our Educator will work with you to customize the program to best augment your current studies.  The upstairs gallery is also open for the students to enjoy after the presentation, which lasts about an hour.
 
We encourage you to also add a self-guided working tour of Main Street, Northport to your visit.  We will provide you with the information you need for this tour.  If you would like two classes to come on the same day, we suggest one class tour Main Street while the other visits the Museum.
 
Please contact the Museum to check for available dates.
 
Classes are scheduled September through November and January through May. A donation of $3 per student is requested.  We request you have two or more adults per class.
