The Sheffield Historical Society
provides a broad range of educational programs and experiences for
both children and adults. Some programs, such as "A Place in
Time", are structured to address specific topics. Others, such
as the Society’s monthly programs are each a unique topic designed
to provide an introduction to a place, event, activity or person which
lived/occurred literally in our backyard or has been the focus of
recent attention.
Other events, such as the October
Spirits of Sheffield Cemetery Walk or the December Holiday Stroll
have become anticipated annual events for both children and adults.
A spin-off of the annual cemetery walk is the cemetery tour for 5th
graders where they have the opportunity to learn about cemetery architecture,
encounter the spirits of Sheffield and Ashley Falls residents and
do grave rubbings.
All of the Society’s education
programs may be tailored for all ages as well as for home schooling
modules. Teacher training programs are available. Please contact us
