Scheduling a Program at One Site

Incorporate a visit to an Alexandria historic site or museum to bring your lessons to life and connect your students to the community they live in. Many sites offer free admission to classes from Alexandria City Public Schools, and some also offer free programs to other public and private school groups. 

If you plan to visit just one museum, please contact the individual site directly to make reservations. For tours including more than one of the sites listed below, contact the Office of Historic Alexandria Education Coordinator at Alexandria Archaeology by email or see scheduling a multi-site program.
