Education

The Sheldon Museum is currently without a Museum Educator. We hope to be able to offer a variety of programs, Museum tours, and resource materials for students of all ages soon, contingent on funding. 

Currently we have Learning Kits available for educators! 

Educational Outreach Programs, Guided Tours, and Customized Programs are not currently available.

Email Barbara Rathburn at brathburn@henrysheldonmuseum.org for more information.

Rental fee: Suggested donation of $25.00 for two weeks.
