Families and Individuals

Visit Us

Visitors can expect to be immersed in the good ol’ school days. For younger visitors, they will be led through a short school lesson followed by a guided tour of the gallery. We also offer both guided and self-guided tours of our gallery. The Schools Museum offers unique hands-on elements that allow visitors to interact with props and try historic activities

Gallery Tour

Volunteers and staff will lead you through the gallery highlighting special objects in the collection. (note: Self-guided tours offer a more relaxed experience where visitors can take in the exhibits at their own pace with volunteers or staff there to answer any questions they may have.)
The gallery features permanent displays as well as new displays that rotate through the season. This means that there will be something new even for returning visitors!

School Lesson Includes

A ten to fifteen-minute lesson led by our “school marm”.
Take home craft related to the season and/or current exhibits on display
A pen and ink lesson.
