Those interested in the hike should request a questionnaire at the information desk located inside the National Prisoner of War Museum. The hike starts at the National Prisoner of War Museum, continues through the historic prison site into the town of Andersonville and ends in Andersonville National Cemetery. An optional fully embroidered patch is available for purchase for those who complete the hike through Boy Scout Troop 231. To accomplish this, the staff at Andersonville NHS has prepared an educational resource packet for use in the classroom and a selection of on-site tours. Educational resource packets are available on loan for a two-week period of time at no charge.
Educators are responsible for postage fees required to return the packet.
A Junior Ranger program is available for children ages 6-12. Interested children should ask for a Junior Ranger Activity Book at the information desk located inside the National Prisoner of War Museum.
