A field trip is a great way to engage with your students on the history of Reconstruction

Reconstruction Era National Historical Park is still under development, and does not yet have formal curriculum materials available for teachers. The park is able to work with school groups interested in scheduling a field trip. Contact us for more information. Additional educational and field trip opportunities are available by contacting the Penn Center. The National Park Service and the National Archives offer materials for educators.
