Education is the heart of Historic Yellow Springs’ mission. HYS’ programs allow visitors to explore over 300 years of history, a rich artistic heritage, and inspiring natural beauty. The village is a learning laboratory for all ages to expand their knowledge, open their minds, and get their feet wet. Education staff organize custom group tours and maintain a self-guided tour program. Exhibits, including our permanent orientation exhibit The Lure of the Springs, trace our history through original artifacts and images and present the work of innovative artists. Special programs include lifelong learning opportunities for senior groups and summer camps for youth. Our regular lecture series on “Third Wednesdays” brings experts in a variety of fields to the village for enriching discussions.
