Field Trip Planner Activities for Students From the History
Center Contact Us: firstname.lastname@example.org Many
historical sites, including Civil War sites, will provide field
trip guidelines and procedures to help you during the field trip
planning process. The following general guidelines will also
help you plan a memorable learning experience for your students.
1.) Select a Civil War site. Civil War sites range from
plantation homes to cemeteries, from stops on the Underground
Railroad to battlefield parks. The Civil War Trust has a list of
more than 500 sites across the nation that are part of our Civil
War Discovery Trail. Find a Civil War site near you » 2.) Scout
the site. Take a trip to the site on your own to make certain
that it is appropriate for your students and your curriculum.
Many sites will waive entrance fees if you let them know that
you are a teacher scouting for a field trip. 3.) Contact the
site to make arrangements for your group. Some sites offer their
own programs for school groups
