Clarksville, TN – Learning will leap off the page and into real life on Tuesday, July 1st, 2025, as the Customs House Museum and Cultural Center transforms into a dynamic classroom during its monthly Homeschool Fieldtrip Day.
From 10:00am to 4:30pm, students from kindergarten through 12th grade, accompanied by their families, are invited to explore the museum’s many exhibits at a special reduced rate—and ignite a lifelong love for history, science, and art along the way.
Offered on the first Tuesday of each month, this hands-on educational event has become a popular tradition for homeschool families throughout Clarksville-Montgomery County and beyond. The July edition promises a full day of self-guided learning, where children and teens can wander through time, engage their imaginations, and ask questions beyond the boundaries of the traditional classroom.
With school tour admission set at just $3.00 per student and $5.00 per adult, even non-member families can access the museum’s rich array of exhibits at an affordable price. Visitors will be able to experience everything from the deep history of Clarksville, to rotating fine art collections, to the ever-popular Explorers Landing, where young learners can enjoy interactive, sensory-rich exhibits designed especially for children.
From historic railroads and Civil War memorabilia to local art showcases and science installations, each corner of the Customs House Museum offers something new to spark a student’s curiosity. Educators and parents alike praise the museum for its ability to blend fun and learning in a way that keeps kids engaged and excited.
“This is more than just a field trip—it’s an opportunity for families to learn together, explore at their own pace, and make education a shared adventure,” said Stephanie Stafford, the museum’s Curator of Education. “We design these days to inspire students of all ages and give homeschooling families access to high-quality learning experiences that complement their curriculum.”
Families are encouraged to bring notebooks, sketchpads, or simply a sense of wonder as they guide their students through the museum’s varied exhibits. Whether your child is passionate about local history, creative arts, engineering, or storytelling, they’re sure to find something that captivates their attention and deepens their understanding of the world.
