Hi,
While not a museum, American Battlefield Trust has robust teacher education programs, including their annual National Teacher Institute, which grants continuing education credits. Among other resources, their curriculum makes use of their many Revolutionary and Civil War battlefield sites.
Here is a listing of all the educator programs:

The Liberty Trail.)Please let me know if you are interested in learning more.

Subject: Partnering with teacher prep / ed programs?
I would like to connect with any museum (though with special interest in history museums and sites) that have developed relationships with teacher education programs, whether university-based or alternative. The Teacher InSites group is an informal cohort of museums deeply invested in providing classroom teacher professional development, and we are partnering with the school of education at the College of William and Mary to share promising practices in museum-based teacher pd. If you are or you know of other museums that are already partnering with teacher ed programs, we would love to know about you!
