Lee Chapel – A Study in Architecture

While on site, students will learn about Lee Chapel's history and architecture through our tour and museum activity. Together the two will cover; the importance of investigating a place's history, basic steps to assembling a building using basic math concepts and why preservation is important. Using a scavenger hunt, students will look for key architectural features from both the interior and exterior of the Chapel.

While the program is more geared towards architecture, students will still have time to look around our museum level. On view are some of Robert E. Lee's tools and drawings from when he was an engineer. Engineers can play a crucial role in the design of a building and often work alongside architects.
