Educational Programs

The Remick Museum offers a wide range of theme-based education programs that interpret domestic and agricultural life through the past 200 years. We have added a program called Seasonal Focus. Seasonal Focus is intended to further illustrate New Englanders' abiding connection to the land. Each season presents unique responsibilities and challenges - and pleasures too. Students dig in to the seasonal traditions that were essential to the survival of farm families and those that endure today.

We offer the following sampling of our programs - many can be adjusted to fit any learning level.

Some of the same topics can be brought to the classroom through our Outreach Program and Education Kits. Contact the Remick Museum's education director, Debra Cottrell, for more information about these programs. To receive a copy of our Education Programs Brochure by mail, or arrange your group's visit call: (603) 323-7591. Cost is $4 per individual, including chaperones and teachers.

Discovery through the senses, combined with hands-on activities and discussion encourages deeper understanding of the topics.
