Education Programs

Andersonville National Historic Site is committed to providing a quality educational experience to school groups. To accomplish this, the staff at Andersonville NHS has prepared on-site programs and an educational resource packet for use in the classroom. Group programs must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance. Educational resource packets are available on loan for a four-week time period at no charge. Educators are responsible for postage fees required to return the packet. For more information regarding our educational resource packets and on-site programs, please call 229-924-0343,extension 203.
