The Middlesex County Office of Culture and Heritage offers an exceptional collection of portable exhibits, traveling workshops and public talks. These programs are award winning and are designed to address the Core Curriculum standards. Over the years, these traveling programs have been presented or displayed at veterans’ centers and homes, assisted living facilities, art centers, home school groups and other community gatherings.
Traveling programs are available exclusively for free within Middlesex County, but presented outside the County for a small fee. The portable exhibits consist of mounted images and text, historical artifacts, photographs, posters and drawings packaged in easy to carry kits or displayed on light-weight kiosks. Some of the traveling programs are interactive workshops, suitable for students and even adults. These are presented at your site by staff who will conduct hands-on workshops, lead discussions, and answer questions.
Some trunks can be borrowed. They are self-contained and include an educational guide. Learn more.
