Field Trips

We are able to accommodate groups with as many as 110 guests per day. If your group has more than the maximum number of 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.

  • The Museum of History and Holocaust Education (MHHE) welcomes visitors of all ages. However, some of the content, particularly exhibitions on the Holocaust, may not be suitable for children under the age of 10 (fifth grade). 
  • 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.

  • The museum has a variety of on site exhibits focusing on World War II and the Holocaust. 
  • The MHHE has a movie theatre that shows different movies including: "The Short Life of Anne Frank," "Path to Nazi Genocide" and "Women in World War II."

Every session contributed to my personal content knowledge. They all added more “real” context to the story of not just Civil Rights but human rights on a larger scale. This was one of the most well run and professional conferences I’ve been to.

The individual stories we learned about were very impactful. I have more voices to share with my students. I plan to sign up for every possible PD you have!

Virginia Public School Teacher

This was honestly a beautifully curated collection of learning sessions and experiences about the Holocaust. I wish I could do it again.
