Past Event:
Annual 3rd Grade Field Trips.
It has become a Manhattan tradition that every year in October the third grade classes walk to our museum from the Anna McDonald school and spend some time viewing the history of the area. Due to the large size of the grade, these field trips take place over several days (3-4) and each day several classes walk over for their turn. Museum volunteers spend some time with each group explaining exhibits, and some free time is also allowed. We have noticed that many of these children return to the museum in following years and bring their families. We have enjoyed reading the thank-you letters from the students and look forward to the next group of students in 2025.
