Please call with any questions you have and know that we are here to support you and your students. We look forward to working with you! BHM Program Manager Jordan Duncan [email protected] 770-382-3818 ext. 7352 Things to Remember: Space at the museum is limited. We ask that you limit the number of chaperones so we can better accommodate you. Field Trips are based on Georgia Standards of Education and are organized by grade level. Guided tours are available for groups with larger age ranges looking for more general, local history content. Make us a part of your lesson plans this school year!
