Educational Programs

Flagg Township Museum provides educational programs for individuals, schools, scouts, and groups at the museum and in the classroom.

For classes that are unable to visit the museum, museum staff is available to schedule classroom visits to provide programs and show artifacts from the museum. Visiting the classroom helps students prepare for what they see when they visit the museum.
