Cultural and Heritage Expeditions

Just a few suggestions…

History – Encounter America’s past and provide an opportunity for your members to learn first-hand about the people and places that have made history. For example, ALL-IN-ONE TOURS can design a special “Night at the Museum” where exhibits come “alive” as characters from the past step out and talk about themselves or their discoveries.

Literature – Embark on a literary pilgrimage to homes and haunts of  authors or poets.  Imagine the thrill of reading from Thoreau’s notebooks at Walden Pond…or reading a poem by Emily Dickinson in her beloved garden in Amherst…, or reading The Raven at the grave-site of Edgar Allan Poe…or walking through Herman Melville’s “Arrowhead” where he wrote Moby Dick.

Art – Bring art history alive…marvel at the technique and the presentation and enjoy a guided highlight tour through a gallery that will provide an overview of the development of American or European art movements.  Introduce or contribute to discussion topics and ideas for aspiring artists. Participate in a hands-on art activity.  Enjoy a pre-opening breakfast and talk, a behind the scenes tour, or an after-hours wine reception.

Drama and Music Appreciation – Imagine the excitement of attending a show on Broadway, the Kennedy Center, the Kimmel Center, Meyerhoff Hall or another of the many theaters and performing arts centers.  Request a back stage tour or a talk with one of the performers.
