Partnership with Needham Public Schools
Education is a major part of our mission, and we are happy to work with the Schools to provide content and information to current and developing curriculum programs. In addition to our beloved 1850 Schoolhouse Day, we have worked with teachers and schools at all levels to provide resources that enrich and expand classroom offerings, and introduce students to the resources and methods of historical research.
