Drop in during your museum visit to participate in hands-on activities and programs based on documents, images, maps, posters and more.

We're open Monday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Seasonal hours may vary. Reservations are not required. For school groups, we ask that you rotate through in small groups of 10 students at a time, with at least one chaperone per group.

Check for special activities and programs on our events calendar.

 

Bring your students to participate in one of our document-based learning lab programs. Participants will analyze historical documents and make connections between America's founding documents and their own lives.
