A visit to the Museum of Appalachia gives students tangible examples for abstract concepts in historical studies, and it offers a wealth of opportunities for them to develop conceptual thinking skills as they explore the world of the pioneers.

The Museum is proud of the assistance we can offer educators to help them “teach the Museum” to the thousands of students who visit each year. Student groups of 30 or more can participate in our interactive musical program, which introduces students to authentic mountain music and provides an orientation to the Museum.
