Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum

The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum will expand the reach of its educational programming from students in elementary grades to include middle and high school students as well. The museum will present on-site workshops and outreach programs on history, art, and STEM topics for third through twelfth grade students for a minimum of 30 classes annually during the two-year project. Programming emphasis will be placed on New York State and Common Core curriculum and will use primary source materials and museum artifacts. The museum will also produce and publish a classroom teacher resource kit on its website with lesson plans, pre- and post- visit activities, and evaluation tools.
