Genesee Country Village and Museum offers engaging field trip opportunities that immerse students in 19th-century history through hands-on activities and interactive experiences. Groups can enjoy self-guided tours of the historic village, exploring various locations at their own pace, or attend one of the museum’s monthly theme days, which feature activities, games and costumed experts, connecting students to curriculum standards. Enrichment activities, such as tin tapping, writing with a quill pen in a one-room schoolhouse, and playing 19th-century games, further enhance the experience. These activities are led by museum educators and can be scheduled as a capstone to the visit. Whether for a short visit or a full day, students will have the opportunity to experience history in a way that brings the past to life at one of the largest living history museums in the United States.
