Read MoreFive Oaks Museum is proud to be a valued local resource for educational materials based in community voices for K-12, college, and adult learners. View our Values-Based Learning Philosophy here.
The museum building is currently closed during the ongoing pandemic and all field trips, group tours, and class visits at the museum are unavailable during the 2021-22 school year. These visits are one of our greatest joys and we look forward to the day we can welcome learners to the museum again. In the meantime, check out our downloadable learning materials, virtual class visits, Museum at (Our Place) mini exhibitions, and adult presentations.
Bring the community voices from our guest curated exhibitions into your classroom (or living room!) setting with our downloadable learning materials. All materials are offered on a sliding scale cost.
