First - Third grade Around the World with Miss Columbia Project Join us for this exciting look at geography and the world as it has changed over the past 100 years. Miss Columbia, the Museum s most famous doll, circumnavigated the globe by herself from 1900 to 1902. A new Miss Columbia doll currently is recreating this historic trip by traveling from school to school throughout the United States and the world. Students meet the original doll and participate in map making and written exercises. Prior to the visit, teachers receive a free copy of the Miss Columbia Interdisciplinary Curriculum Guide.
Themes change quarterly.
The Train Room features six running lay-outs of model trains including a Salem to Newburyport line. The Museum offers local schools the opportunity to display student artwork for a month long period in our Student Art Gallery. All artists are given a family pass to view their work while on display. The Museum will combine programs and can host more than one classroom. Each participating student will receive a certificate for a free return visit.
