Public education is at the heart of the Mississippi Armed Forces Museum’s mission. The Museum offers a variety of educational programs for children of all ages. The Museum's educational programs actively engage children with hands-on activities, making learning more meaningful.

Teachers throughout Mississippi can choose from a variety of educational programs that will allow them to enhance their curriculum. Touring the Museum is a perfect way for students to become actively engaged as they are immersed into our military’s history. Our Miniatures Wargaming Program offers students the opportunity to learn history while applying mathematics and critical thinking skills. The Flag Etiquette Program presented by VFW Post 3036 teaches students how to respect our flag by detailing the do’s and don’ts of the Flag Code. All of these valuable resources are available to teachers at no charge! Contact Us

In addition to the educational programs of students, the Museum also offers educational summer camps for children ages 6-12. Participants will explore the Museum in depth and learn about military history through hands-on activities involving arts and crafts, artifacts, food, etc. The camps allow children to learn about patriotism and history, all while having fun in the process!
