Our youth education programming encourages students to uncover history in their everyday lives. Programs connect local history across disciplines in the classroom through investigation, research, creation and connection. We offer both site-based and remote programming for classroom educators or local families. Come to the museum and you might investigate archival photos, discover trends in local natural history or engineer irrigation for homesteading cabins.
If you are interested in having us visit your class, please feel free to contact us regarding any of our set programs, or to build a custom course.
- INVESTIGATE – Students will use archives and museum objects to critically investigate aspects of local Jackson Hole history and its relationship to the nation/world.
- RESEARCH – Using our research database and resources students will discover documents or objects that relate to their specific topic.
- CREATE – Student will apply the history they have learned to create and design artwork, structure, and inventions.
