For Education

The Historical Society of Pennsylvania is committed to providing teachers and students with resources both inside and outside the classroom in order to enhance their teaching, learning, and understanding of history. Educators can take advantage of onsite field trips to HSP as well as remote virtual lessons to help immerse their students in history with experiences that center primary source learning.
