Burlington County Historical Society

The Burlington County Historical Society will work with a museum education consultant and local teachers to develop and test improvements to school-group experiential learning. The museum will conduct teacher focus groups and design workshops to co-create and prototype an experience for elementary school classes in its 18th century historic house, based on the interactive exhibition, "The How Family at Home." The result will be refreshed themes, improved curriculum materials, and activities for more relevant and self-directed, student-centered learning. The project will build the museum's capacity to attract and serve a larger public school audience while also improving experiences for its public programs and walk-in visitors.
