Pea Ridge National Military Park
For Teachers

for teachers includes:

Plan A Field Trip
 
 
Students on a field trip learn how to load a cannon.

Pea Ridge National Military Park has a lot to offer the schools in our region. From short field trips to extensive all day affairs, the staff of Pea Ridge National Military Park will work with teachers to make history come alive. 

School groups have the option of self-guided or ranger-guided tours through the park.  Many students enjoy period-oriented gift shop items such as harmonicas and "game of graces."  Our staff are available for demonstrations as well.
