Field Trips

Ready to plan your trip? Here are three things you should do:

1. Learn About A Typical School Visit Experience

As the state’s largest classroom for exploring Mississippi’s rich and complex history, the Two Mississippi Museums are the premier destination for school field trips.

  • What can I expect from a field trip to the Two Mississippi Museums?
    • The campus of the Two Mississippi Museums includes both the Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. 
    • Students will experience the full scope of Mississippi history from prehistory to present day and explore themes that are emphasized in the Mississippi Studies courses.
    • Your students may be split into two group in order to have the opportunity to tour both museums. We recommend planning to spend between 1 to 1.5 hours in each museum. 
  • How should I plan lunch for my group?
2. Request Your School Group Visit Now

We want every school group that visits the Two Mississippi Museums to have a meaningful experience. To accomplish this goal, we ask that groups book their field trips in advance.  Please complete the group visit request form here.
