School Programs and Group Tours

School Programs:
Historic Yates Mill County Park provides a wide variety of programs designed to enrich children's learning and classroom experiences. All of our educational tours and programs are designed to be compatible with the current North Carolina Standard Course of Study. Trained docents and education staff lead groups through the historic site. All of the programs and tours at Historic Yates Mill County Park feature inquiry-based learning, a variety of interactive group activities and tours, and hands-on experiences that both enchant and educate. These programs are open to school groups, Scout troops, homeschool groups, and groups from other youth organizations.
