The Wright Museum Experience

"Check out the tank!", "Incredible experience," and "You help keep the past alive" are just a few of the quotes heard from the thousands of students, grades 3 through 12, who have toured the museum over the past 16 years .

Tours begin with a brief orientation lecture and video to introduce or reinforce the broader historical context of the museum's exhibits.

During the course of their tour, visitors of all ages come away with a fuller understanding of the values, sacrifices and spirit of cooperation that contributed to the Allied victory.

Volunteers, many of whom served during the war or who can recall their Home Front experiences, assist with tours. Grade-appropriate materials are given to instructors with pre-tour and post-tour study suggestions.

For more information about how you can integrate a museum visit into your U.S. History/WWII unit, please call 603/569-1212.

Teachers may download materials for use prior to and during their students' visit to help provide an appropriate level of focus. Materials are grade-level appropriate for upper elementary, middle, and high school students.

Students and teachers give the Wright Museum rave reviews:

"The stories that you presented to us were great and relate to what we are studying in Social Studies."

"We have read the text book version and now we have heard what it is like to be in the war."

"Very happy with the program...can you come back next year?"

"I was surprised how direct the effect of the war was to the citizens, and how the government requested so many common things, like lead, rubber, fat & tin foil."

"It helped to give us a greater appreciation for what our veterans have done for us."
