Field Trips
Field trips are available for the 2022-2023 school-year! We are able to accomodate groups with as many as 110 guests per day. If your group has more than the maximum attendees, we can schedule field trips over
multiple days, or we visit your school for an in-person visit / facilitate a virtual school program.
With a wide variety of exhibitions and educational topics for 5th grade and older, the Museum of History and Holocaust Education is an excellent choice for your next group trip.
Our tours are free with a reservation. All school trips are led by museum educators and conform to the Georgia Standards of Excellence. Please note that for a full guided group-tour, we require a minimum of fifteen participants.
Please check our Frequently Asked Questions below for more details. If you have additional inquiries, please contact K-12 Education Coordinator, Maddie Davis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any group or organization. The MHHE has given tours to school groups, community organizations, religious groups, scout groups, senior groups, and more.

For school groups of over 15 students, plan on being at the museum for just over 2 hours. Even with interactive discussions and activities, after this length of time, some students may lose concentration.
Other groups may schedule different length tours depending on the exhibits they wish to see and how long they have to spend at the MHHE.
