Elementary students can explore the life and times of the extraordinary Gordon family through a tour of the house and the experiential programs described below:
Juliette Low is well known for founding the Girl Scouts, but she was also a gifted artist. Explore the role of 19th-century women in the arts. Students discover the life, work, and training of artists through a tour of the museum and hands-on activities. 
This extremely popular December session combines a living history presentation with hands-on activities. Students visit costumed characters portraying Gordon family members, tour the authentically decorated Wayne-Gordon House and make a small Victorian craft to take home.
Explore the pivotal years of the early 20th century leading to World War I, a time of societal and technological upheaval! Communications, transportation, and popular culture were radically altered. Using hands-on activities from early Girl Scout handbooks, children’s books and other primary sources, students discover everyday life in the 20th century. 
Juliette Gordon Low’s childhood included school, family and time for play. Students will try their hand at everyday life of Victorian children through stories, manners, and parlor games. Costumed staff will portray family members, as students tour the house and travel back in time. The program will include a take-home craft activity and penmanship “homework.” 
Investigate the life of Juliette Gordon Low, honored in the Georgia Hall of Fame and by the Georgia Women of Achievement, one of the most famous Georgians in history. This program includes a PowerPoint show about the Gordon family and Juliette Gordon Low, a guided tour of the historic house and an introduction to using letters, diaries, period photographs and objects to enrich our understanding of “her-story.”
