This post is part of my 10 Ways to Teach Prehistoric and Ancient History series<\/a>, which is part of 10 Days of Tips for Homeschoolers, hosted by Living Life and Learning<\/a>.<\/em><\/h4>\n

We, as a family, love traveling (see many of the places we’ve been<\/a> with our kids over the years). And we love museums. Especially science and history museums. Which is why whenever we travel some place new, those types of places are at the top of our to-do list.<\/p>\n

But we also love visiting high-quality local museums and, with the size of our family, we often end up saving by getting annual passes that allow us unlimited to access to nearby adventures.<\/p>\n

I’ll admit, though, it takes something special to get me to give up our usual morning school schedule for a museum day. So any time I can work a museum visit in with our current school subjects, it’s a big yes for me!<\/p>\n

There are so many ways to incorporate museum and historical site visits into your homeschool history program.<\/h3>\n

Sometimes it means waiting for special exhibits to come to our local museums, like the time a traveling Egyptian Mummy exhibit passed through a local science center right when we were covering Ancient Egypt in our history program (what has now become Big Ideas through History<\/a>).<\/p>\n
