The Heritage Center is committed to enhancing educational opportunities for school children. We have a variety of educational experiences and materials that can assist teachers and home schooling parents.
A field trip to the Heritage Center provides a unique, hands-on learning event for schools, Scout troops, history clubs, home schoolers, and anyone who has an interest in history. Each activity is thoroughly researched by degreed historians and Masters and PhD student candidates, and complies with the Tennessee Social Studies curriculum guidelines.
To schedule a field trip, please contact us at (615) 217-8013.
Since 2008, the Heritage Center has hosted a Civil War Book Discussion Group in partnership with Linebaugh Library. The next book group will meet in January 2012, when it will discuss
Shiloh (1952), by Shelby Foote. Check back soon for exact dates and times.
