BIG CYPRESS – The Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum, on the Big Cypress Reservation, will host teachers throughout July for free. “Teacher Appreciation Month” is an opportunity for educators to get familiar with the museum’s galleries and boardwalk at no cost. Up to four guests will receive 50 percent discounted admission.

Learning opportunities on the Big Cypress Reservation range from the history and culture of the Native Americans to the diverse eco-systems of Florida. 

“We welcome teachers to come learn about the Seminole Tribe and the Florida Everglades at our accredited museum, and take their excitement back to the classroom.  Seminole history is Florida history.  We are an incredible resource for teachers and the perfect place for an immersive field trip,” Abena Robinson, the museum’s education coordinator, said in a press release.

Educators can sign up in advance at ahtahthiki.com/teachers and bring their school-issued identification the day of the visit.  The museum will be closed July 4, but is otherwise open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
