Education: Our Mission

Amanda Anderson (L) and Kayla Meyers (R) work on a project at a recent Family Program

Through its programming the Education Department of the Washington State History Museum facilitates an engaging learning environment for the widest possible audience. Through our research and educational activities, we act as a catalyst to inspire visitors to engage in historical inquiry and identify themselves in meaningful and relevant histories.

The Washington History Online project allows us to engage a larger audience by bringing our collections into the classroom, along with the tools teachers need to inspire students to explore Washington State History.

We invite you to explore our online curricular materials, or consider a class visit to our exhibitions. To schedule a class visit, please visit our History Museum Field Trip page.
