Teachers, hurry and reserve now!
Our two-hour programs are a unique way
for students to learn about the importance of Harness Racing
(America's first pastime) in American culture and history.
This popular educational program is a wonderful way to introduce children to
the world of museums.
Through
the Eyes of Currier & Ives
Available
year round
Grades 1 through 10
participate in an historical art program. It is designed to engage students by taking them on a
journey in time and imagination to the 1800s to meet the famous
printmakers of America. Students study their work to learn more
about the 19th century. They examine the life of the
artist, discovering, along the way, their thoughts and ideas.
Participants even try their hand at producing a print using
the process of lithography.
"Why
We Are Friends"
Available
year round
For
the little ones, kindergarten through second grade, we ask "Why do horses like to be around
people?" "What do horses have in common with
school children?" "What do you need to care for
your horse?" and "How do horse athletes compare to human
athletes?" All these questions and more will be answered in
this two-hour fun excursion to a real museum!
Call The Education Department at (845) 294-6330 to reserve
your class time or for our informative brochure. Time slots are
limited and reservations are recommended as soon as possible.
Of course a ride of the world's only harness racing 3-D simulator
is an exciting part of the trip!
