Hands-on experiences fill students with wonder.
Trouped trunks are presented by volunteers at your Guilford County location. Because items are often passed among students, group size may not exceed 35 students. Up to three presentations in one visit may be arranged, each lasting 30 to 60 minutes long.
Is There a Cost to Reserving a Trouped Trunk?
In an effort to better serve our audience while promoting education, there is no cost associated with our Greensboro History Museum Trouped Trunk presentations; however, we do ask that each presentation is for groups of 35 or fewer with a limit of 3 presentations per visit.
