Bring Jamestown Settlement and the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown to your classroom

Teacher pointing to an artifact a student is holdingIf you can’t visit one of our museums, the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation can bring one of our inquiry-based educational programs to your classroom.

Programs allow students to examine reproduction artifacts and primary sources that stimulate learning through historical analysis and critical thinking.

The outreach programs support the Virginia Standards of Learning and you can find related teaching resources in our Teacher Resources and Programs or Research and Collections to supplement the lesson. Programs are designed for an average class size and last one hour. A minimum of three classes are required to book an outreach program.

Classroom outreach programs are only available in Virginia. If you’re outside Virginia or visitors are not allowed in your school this year, you can still experience our inquiry-based programs through our virtual learning offerings.
