We have three guided field trip options:

2. Primary Source Workshop Tour (Grades 6 - 12) - How do historians uncover the past? What makes a source reliable? Students explore Colorado history and Margaret Brown's legacy through hands-on artifact exploration and primary source analysis. Students build critical thinking skills and practice historical inquiry along the way.

3. Titanic Student Tour (Grades 3 - 12) - Available in March and April only! Explore themes of immigration, innovation, and class through the story of the ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic.
