What’s the next best thing to a Museum field trip? Bringing the Museum to your school or home!
The Upcountry History Museum offers a Traveling Trunk program for students and teachers! We offer three themed trunks:

The Meaning of Money
The Meaning of Money
Explore the changing role of currency throughout American history. Through playful games, students will explore trade and barter, savings and spending, rationing and more.
Intended as a supplemental educational resource and as an outreach program for schools unable to visit the Museum, the Traveling Trunks are a unique opportunity for teachers in all 15 Upcountry counties. Teachers and parents can use the trunks to enhance units of study and engage students in object-based learning. Reserve your Traveling Trunk today!
