Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum

The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum will introduce a comprehensive program for school classrooms to meet the needs of local educators. Based upon surveys with teachers, the museum will develop new programming that emphasizes New York State and Common Core curriculum parameters. The museum will respond to this need by supplying: workshops for K-5 to be conducted as field trips to the museum; outreach in which the museum educator will instruct lessons on-site at local schools; and supplemental materials for continued education after the completion of a workshop or outreach. It is anticipated that participating students will demonstrate an increase in knowledge of history, art, and STEM-related topics.
