Join us on Saturday, July 5th, 1pm to 2:30pm, for an engaging talk by award winning author George Hayward on his book The Party Dolls.On 10 May 1969, two American prisoners of war escaped from a brutal Hanoi prison camp called the Annex. Their story is one of incredible bravery against the longest of odds. It’s also one of bitter conflict. Air Force Captains John Dramesi and Ed Atterberry escaped with help from their fellow prisoners, but that help was not given freely. The suffering it brought killed Atterberry, and scarred others for life.

This summer, you can help bring history to life for thousands of Massachusetts students. The “Help Fuel Our Field Trips” campaign supports the American Heritage Museum’s School Field Trip Grant Fund, which provides critical funding for transportation and admission for financially challenged schools across the region.

Now through July 31st, your gift goes twice as far

Thanks to a generous $25,000 matching challenge — every dollar you give is doubled, helping twice as many students experience the power of immersive, hands-on history education.

Field trips to the American Heritage Museum aren’t just exciting days out — they’re transformational learning experiences. Designed to align with the Massachusetts History and Social Science Curriculum Framework, our exhibits take students on a powerful journey through American and world history — from the Revolutionary War to modern conflicts — through authentic artifacts, detailed dioramas, and compelling personal stories. Additionally, our recently added interpretive exhibits on the Holocaust teach about past genocides and other atrocity crimes illustrates the dangers of antisemitism, racism, and all forms of discrimination and dehumanization.

For many students, especially those from under-resourced schools, these visits offer a rare and meaningful connection to the past — the kind of experiential learning that inspires empathy, critical thinking, and a lifelong appreciation for history.

With your support, we can ensure that every student, regardless of background, has the opportunity to step into history and explore the events, people, and ideas that shaped the world we live in today.

Use the options below to give today and double your impact — help us reach our $25,000 summer goal and fuel the future of history education!
