Journey to Sheboygan County
Full Day Education Program
More than just a Field Trip
The Museum’s Full Day Education Programs allow students to meet classroom objectives while interacting with artifacts and galleries in an interactive environment. The programs engage student imaginations along with their problem-solving skills through a series of coordinated experiences, including hands-on activities, gallery sessions, and overview exercises.
Journey to Sheboygan County explores the experience of the people who settled in Sheboygan in the 19th century. Students learn about the lives and practices of those who migrated from the eastern United States, immigrated from Europe, and later Southeast Asia and Latin America. The program also explores the similarities and differences to that of modern migrants and immigrants.
