History comes alive with Heritage Express, a companion to our award-winning VanGogh Outreach program. This museum experience immerses students in the history of the Great Road and the early pioneering spirit that brought settlers to the mountains of Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee. It includes a close examination of objects made in the region in those earliest days of settlement.
Heritage Express is tailored to the 4th-grade curriculum and uses the museum’s permanent collection and hands-on art activities to reinforce students’ understanding of and appreciation for their own cultural heritage.
Each visit lasts 2 hours and 15 minutes and consists of three parts:
Groups are limited to no more than 60 students, divided into 3 groups of 20. An optional space for lunch is available at no additional cost. Teachers will be provided with pre-visit tips and activities related to their museum visit.
