Atlanta History Center outreach educators provide hands-on history for your classroom by bringing “please touch” reproduction artifacts, photographs, maps, and clothing to schools. Presentations are 30-45 minutes and are available for pre-K through grade 12 classrooms. Each presentation is keyed to Georgia GPS objectives and includes a presentation by an outreach teacher, a selection of artifacts for students to explore, and printed materials for classroom use.

Single classroom visits for schools outside the Fulton County School System are $75. Each additional class is $35. Outreach presentations are also available for assemblies, full day programs, and special events for an additional cost. A mileage fee is charged for visits.

Please reserve outreach visits at least three weeks in advance. For more information, or to schedule an outreach visit, please call 404.814.2060 or email.
