TITANIC PIGEON FORGE
Dear Educators:
The tragic story of Titanic has been with us for more than 98 years. It is more than just the account of perhaps the most memorable maritime catastrophe of the 20th century. Titanic is a lasting symbol of the great age of immigration that brought the hopes and dreams of many people to our shores.
The Titanic Museum Attraction wants to promote the awareness and knowledge of the world's diverse cultures by recreating actual rooms of the Titanic and by displaying actual objects that bring to life individuals and events that have had a significant impact on human history. It is our desire to present the Titanic story in a historically accurate and reverent manner and to inspire further study and research into this event.
Teaching and learning opportunities abound as you and your students explore the World's Largest Titanic Museum Attraction. Throughout the school year, link the Titanic experience to your curriculum and reinforce your students' skills and help them develop proficiencies in areas beyond history.
" I had the most moving and memorable experience. I shall always remember visiting the RMS Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge. Since I am a high school English teacher, I chose this non fiction story as one I love to teach. Now that I have visited the museum I want more than ever to share this experience with my students. In my class years ago, I chose to let my students pull names of the passengers and only after we finish the unit do they find out the fate of their passenger. It has always been so much fun to role play the story and end the semester on a high but sad note."

"This is a great educational tour and just an all around fun thing to do."
