The Wright Museum is the region’s leading resource for educators and learners of all ages interested in the Second World War. The museum shares its rich collection of artifacts through dozens of exhibits that illustrate the American WWII experience.

A visit to the Wright Museum is an ideal introduction to or culmination of your WWII instructional unit. Call the Wright Museum today at (603) 569-1212 to learn more and schedule your class visit today! You may also e-mail us for more information.

“Check out the tank!” “Incredible experience”

“You help keep the past alive”

These 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 20 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.

Preparation Materials

You can download materials for use prior to and during your students’ visit to help provide an appropriate level of focus. Materials are grade-level appropriate for upper elementary, middle, and high school students.
