This teacher workshop program is a free full-day course provided by the Army Heritage Center Foundation and the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC). Designed for Middle and High School educators in Social Studies, History or related subjects.

To welcome you, experience a behind the scenes tour of the Archives and Exhibits led by the USAHEC’s knowledgeable staff.
