Educators: Start Here! Our Educator Packet outlines all of our available programming options.
Field Trips
A field trip to the President James K. Polk State Historic Site is both educational and interactive! While visiting our site your students will learn about President Polk and what life was like in the backcountry when Polk was a child. During their visit, students of all ages can gain a more concrete understanding of 19th century life through tours of our two fully-furnished log cabins, demonstrations of skills like musket firing and hearth cooking, or a scavenger hunt in our exhibit space.
Each of our standard school tour options are tailored to specific grade levels, are linked to key standards, and can be customized based on what you know your students will benefit from the most.
Charge: Basic School Tours- $8.00/student.*
*Minimum of 10 students or $80.00 charge. Rate reductions available for Title 1 schools and those using Arts and Science Council funding. Additional charge for add-on experiences may apply.
