Victoria Mansion offers an active roster of educational programs for students and adults. Because we believe the Mansion itself is our most important resource for studying life and culture in the 19th century, most of our educational programs are offered on-site and include a tour. Educational programs range from interactive activities for school children to lectures and symposia for adults, and exhibitions in the new Carriage House visitor center.

SCHOOL PROGRAMS
• School programs for grades 3 – 6 are designed to complement a tour of the Mansion. Total program length, including tour, is 1-1/2 hours.
• Programs meet the requirements of the Maine Learning Results.
• Each program is accompanied by a Teacher Resource Notebook that has readings, worksheets, and slides that may be borrowed in advance of a scheduled visit. Parts of these notebooks may be available online before long.
• Reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance. School tours are available 9-4. Schedule a visit by calling 772-4841.

Train Up a Child
Grades 3 - 6
Penmanship, calling cards, proper etiquette, polite parlor games, and good posture – all were part of the upbringing of a child in the 19th century. Train Up a Child gives students a chance to try out these activities and more, and gives them a new perspective on their own lives in the 21st century.
Learning Results Connections: Social Studies, History, A,B, & C

ADULT PROGRAMS
The Mansion offers occasional public lectures, specialized tours, and symposia on varied 19th-century topics the rest of the year. Most programs are one-time events, and will be listed in the Events section of this website.
