Each of these guides is a PDF (Portable Document Format) document and can be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available for a free download from Adobe.com.

Program-Specific Activity Guides - include pre- and post-visit activities to use in your classroom. Many activities use everyday household items to create engaging, historical lessons. Most of our activity guides are available online for downloading.

To read descriptions of these programs, please visit the School Programs page.

Please note: Our historic photos (previously mailed with each Curriculum Packet), are not available online, but are for sale through Eastern National Bookstore. Call 978-970-5015 to order.
