We offer a range of tours for school groups during the week (Tuesdays through Fridays) during which students can meet Ben Franklin virtually, explore the history of printing, reenact the Constitutional Convention, and/or participate in hands-on printing activities.
If the Museum is too far for a field trip, we can bring the Museum to you through our traveling Museum on Wheels Program: Ben Franklin’s Colonial Assembly. A trailer equipped with Franklin’s colonial printing shop visits your school and makes history come alive for your students!
