About the event
United States of America, 1844.
The nation is moving west. Tensions over slavery are escalating. Technology, religion, and politics are rapidly changing. Through it all a uniquely American story is unfolding: shaped by his childhood on the frontier, James K. Polk becomes the President to push the United States to the Pacific.
Learn about a fascinating and pivotal time in U.S. history through the life and legacy of our 11th President. Our docents are passionate about history and this community, and ready to lead you on an educational journey through the Polk Home. Then explore the Sisters’ House, Polk Presidential Exhibit Hall, Garden, and Kitchen. Bring your questions and your curiosity!
We have one field trip coordinator ticket available. If you register as the field trip coordinator, you will be responsible for greeting group members as they arrive, checking attendance, and interfacing the the venue staff as the group leader. SENHE will provide you with details ahead of the event. Field Trip Coordinators get free admission. :)
