Programs for Your Class

​​Programs (Options for all Ages)

The Museum offers education programs to schools throughout Northwest Arkansas, as well as to home school groups and daycares. Topics range from those of local interest, such as the history of the apple growing industry in Benton County, to broader themes such as Arkansas State symbols.

Educational program sign-ups are now open for the 2024-2025 school year. 

Please fill out the interest form here to indicate the kind of programming you would like to receive from us: field trips, virtual lessons, outreach (in-classroom) lessons, or a combination of those three. Once Education Manager Ashley Sayers has received your interest form, she will email you the appropriate form(s) for you to fill out for the specific programming that you want. Nothing is finalized until Ashley sends you a confirmation email.

Thanks to the generosity of the Rogers Historical Museum Foundation, school bus costs for field trips are covered.
For more information or if you have questions, contact Education Manager Ashley Sayers at [email protected] or                (479) 621-1154.

Teacher Enrichment Series

Teacher enrichment programs explore topics of local interest. Each session offers in-depth information on the selected topic and gives educators ideas on how to engage their students in the subject. These programs meet professional development credits required by the state of Arkansas. New program topics are offered annually.

Dates for Teacher Enrichment Programs are offered throughout the year and can be scheduled for groups of educators as needed. For more information or to schedule, contact Adult Programs Educator Monte Harris at [email protected] or (479) 621-1154.


Current Programs:

Stirring Stories of the Civil War in Northwest Arkansas - A workshop devoted to the study of the Civil War in Northwest Arkansas. This program uses the current Museum exhibit of the same name to present documented overlapping accounts from the perspective of Northwest Arkansas civilian families. Group discussion focuses on how Civil War history can be used to introduce cultural, economic, geographical, and political subjects in the classroom. Program participants can also discuss ways in which to urge their students to think in terms of leadership efforts to help rebuild communities caught in the destructive aftermath of war and other natural or man-made disasters.  

Early Stories of Benton County - A walking tour designed to share the early history of Benton County with an emphasis on the town of Bentonville. The tour will enhance the perception of American history by focusing on local historical sites and the documented stories of the people who built Bentonville. Walking along the old roadways and exploring the old places can spark new ideas that we hope will ultimately enrich the classroom experience for both the teacher and the student.
