A field trip enhancement is a great opportunity to work exclusively with one of our museum teachers on a separate site to further explore the lives of the Wampanoag people or the 17th-century English colonists.

In our Wampanoag field trip enhancement, Wampanoag museum educators discuss their relationship to the land and their seasonal ways of life. Participants get a hands-on lesson in working with natural materials, play a Wampanoag game, and handle artifacts and furs.

Our Colonial field trip enhancements take place on our new Colonial Education Site, which includes two fully furnished reproduction 17th century houses. Over the course of the program, each participant gets a chance to play Colonial games and take part in one of the many chores that occupied a 17th century child’s day, such as grinding corn or “laying the board.”

Cost: $225 for first program, $100 for each additional program.
