We are excited to expand Belmont Mansion’s offerings to the classroom. All the offerings meet standards for public and private schools. The newly-created Traveling Trunk is presented in the classroom by a Belmont Mansion educator and comes with student-friendly reproduction pieces and information sheets. This experience lasts about one hour and allows students t0 handle items such as a stereopticon, the 19th century version of our View-Master.
In addition to the Traveling Trunk, an educator can come to the classroom to speak on a variety of themes including Adelicia Acklen and her effect on local Tennessee history, civil war topics, 19th century culture, etiquette, and architecture, as well as art and museum studies.
For more info please contact James Hayden at james.hayden@belmont.edu or call 615-460-5459.
