Smithsonian's History Explorer
Smithsonian’s History Explorer was developed by the National Museum of American History in partnership with the Verizon Foundation to offer hundreds of free, innovative online resources for teaching and learning American history.
The site is designed for use by K-12 teachers and students, afterschool program providers, families, and individuals interested in lifelong learning.
History Explorer’s resources focus on learning history by “reading” objects for the stories they hold about the nation and its many peoples. Learning activities feature artifacts selected from over 3 million items in the Museum’s collections, and draw on the expertise of the Museum’s renowned curatorial staff.

What homeschoolers say about The Smithsonian Institution
Homeschoolers appreciate the Smithsonian Institution for its high-quality, well-researched materials that cover a broad range of subjects including science, history, and art. Their resources are praised for being visually engaging and suitable for various age groups, often used to supplement core curricula. However, some families note that the materials can be dense and may require significant parental involvement to adapt for younger learners. While generally considered a valuable and trustworthy source, the cost and occasional complexity of the resources can be a drawback for some.
