Educational Programs (Grades 4-12)
Explore the past with one of our programs designed with curriculum needs in mind. Our programs align with New York State Learning Standards and emphasize different ways of thinking about history. We welcome learners of all ages—from primary and secondary schools to community groups, social service organizations, and universities.
​
For 4th and 5th graders, we offer “Children of the Mansion House,” which introduces learners to a variety of primary sources and encourages them to interpret the past.
​
School Group tours are $5 per student. The instructor and bus driver receive complimentary admission.
For every 10 students on the trip an additional chaperone receives free admission.
Each student will also receive a voucher to a return trip to the Mansion House with their family.
If you are in need of financial assistance in order to bring a school group to the Mansion House.
​
We are happy to offer customized tours for students in grades 6-12 as well as Advanced Placement US History classes, and college courses.
Please contact Tom Guiler, Director of Museum Affairs, tguiler@oneidacommunity.org to set up your custom tour.
