Field Trips
Build upon what your students learn in the classroom with a field trip to the Shrine. History, architecture, art and religion are some of the subjects that can support your curriculum. Be sure to ask about our Living History program where our Junior History Interpreters can share what it’s like to be a student in the 19th century!
