SPRING FIELD DAYS AT THE FARMERS’ MUSEUM

Recommended for all ages, this annual self-guided visit is our most popular offering. Spring Field Days gives teachers and students the opportunity to spend time with the exhibits, demonstrations, and interpretive areas that matter most to them.

Trips to the Museums in May and June have been a tradition for students for many years, and Spring Field Days has become our most popular program. Classes explore The Farmers’ Museum, Fenimore Art Museum, and our Native American Sites on self-guided tours at their own pace.
 
Spring Field Days now features Museum Quest, a series of staffed drop-in learning stations at both museums to help students explore our collections through standards-based activities in math, science, social studies, and language arts. Plus, all of the learning stations are now connected to the new Common Core Standards in English Language Arts!

Offered: May, June
Cost: $6 per student (includes admission to The Farmers’ Museum and the Fenimore Art Museum)
New York State Standards: SS, Arts, ELA Common Core, MST
