Teacher’s Corner

A field trip is a great way for kids to learn about the history of their community, details below. But if a tour won’t work, you can always bring Gilbert’s history to life in your classroom, home study or Scout group with a traveling G.I.F.T. Trunk.

These trunks are packed with Gilbert’s Interesting Facts and Treasures and contain hands-on activities designed to bring Gilbert history to life. Activities are designed for 3^rd and 4^th grade to meet the state social studies standards, but can be readily adapted for different age groups. For more information on the activities and how you can check out a trunk from the Gilbert Museum, please use our contact form.

Learn more about our G.I.F.T trunks here.

The rich Arizona history on display at the Gilbert Museum at HD SOUTH makes us a great destination to explore our community’s past.  We can accommodate groups of any size with advance notice. Please call 480.926.1577 or or use the form below to make a reservation, preferably at least one week before your preferred tour date.

If you would like to book a guided tour of the Gilbert Museum for your class, please ensure to book in advance as we cannot guarantee guide availability for walk-up groups. The maximum group size per tour guide is 20 visitors. If you have a larger group, there is a charge of $25 per guide for each additional tour guide required.
