The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum places a high priority on educational programs for school groups and other visitors. The Museum plays an integral role within the educational community; over 15,000 students participate in annual field trips to the Museum.

The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum is pleased to incorporate the Character Counts! program into all of its museum tours and programs.  The Museum was officially recognized in 2003 by the State of Georgia as a Center for Character Education. The Mighty Eighth realized that we have thousands of stories within our museum and archives that demonstrate strong admirable character traits and we needed to be able to share those stories with every person we could and Character Counts! helps us to reach this goal. The Mighty Eighth has accepted the challenge of sharing the positive character traits demonstrated by the men and women of the 8th Air Force.

Program content is age-appropriate and tailored to meet school curriculum standards. We have several different tours/programs available to match the educational needs of various groups. In this way, the classroom teacher is partnering with our educational staff so student and teacher may participate in an authentic learning experience.

Please make reservations at least one month ahead or as soon as possible to secure your first choice in field trip dates.  March, April, May, all Fridays and weekends book up quickly.  Please don’t miss out on a tremendous learning experience for your students. 

The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum invites your class to eat lunch here at the Museum. Box lunches are available for $6.00 and up. Please contact Heather Thies for more details.
