Field Trip Programs

The East Hampton Historical Society is the parent organization for a complex of seven museums, historic sites and facilities of both local and national importance. Our mission to serve the residents and visitors of East Hampton through the collection, preservation and interpretation of the cultural heritage of the town extends to partnerships with schools and other educational institutions.

The East Hampton Historical Society programs are derived from exciting and innovative curriculum in areas of history, art, preservation, agriculture and cultural studies.  The educational opportunities with the East Hampton Historical Society are designed to inspire, educate and connect with your curriculum and professional development needs.

Our staff has worked to create field trips and school and community-based programs specifically developed to augment classroom instruction and enhance community programming in youth and adult centers. Regardless of the site, lesson plans reflect the ages and developmental needs and abilities of participating students.

We also focus our resources to create educational experiences that meet the requirements of the New York State Learning Standards and Common Core.  We are also able to conduct our programs in a safe, outdoor environment, while practicing social distancing guidelines mandated by New York State. 

Our general program fee:

Instruction at your school: $10.00 per student with a minimum class size of 10.

Virtual distance learning:  $165 per class, with an unlimited number of participants

Chaperones
We recommend that two chaperones accompany each class. Since our programs are based on “learning by doing,” chaperones will be asked to assist staff and participate actively.

The historical society does not have indoor dining facilities.
