Reservations are required. Free programs are available. Free Programs Since many public schools cannot budget for supplemental program costs, LCMM works to find corporate, foundation, and community partners whose support will enable these schools to participate free of charge. LCMM Education Director, Laurie Eddy, announced that 12 sponsors have underwritten the cost of 129 educational programs this season. The generosity of community sponsors allows us to reach nearly 4000 students in their classrooms during the winter when the museum's exhibit buildings are closed.
Free programs are still available.
There are hundreds of well-preserved shipwrecks on the bottom of Lake Champlain. Students become historical detectives as they use real artifacts from one of Lake Champlain's shipwrecks to solve the mystery of a sunken vessel. Studying these sunken vessels helps students to understand the people, technology, and events of the past. Playing the role of a gunboat Captain from Benedict Arnold's fleet, the Museum Educator brings to life the story of the American Revolution in the Champlain Valley. Shipwrecks, artifacts, and journals left behind help students connect with this important time in American history.
