The Historic New Orleans Collection’s Virtual Field Trips (VFTs) are free and open to students of all ages.
Custom, one-on-one Virtual Field Trips are available for K-16 classes. We'd love to create a FREE special experience for your students about the history and culture of New Orleans and the Gulf South. Distance learning programs can be facilitated on Zoom or Google Meet and require a minimum of two weeks' notice.
Free ASL interpretation is available for all virtual education programs. Please let us know how we can accomodate the needs of your group.
Please contact THNOC's Education Department with questions or to begin the process.
