For Teachers
Pea Ridge National Military Park has a lot to offer the schools in our region. From short field trips to extensive all day affairs, the staff of Pea Ridge National Military Park will work with teachers to make history come alive. School groups have the option of self-guided or ranger-guided tours through the park. Many students enjoy period-oriented gift shop items such as harmonicas and "game of graces." Our staff are available for demonstrations as well. Please click on the link and fill out a reservation form to plan a field trip.
