School Field Trips

Children on school field trip

The Museum is a great place for school-aged children. Many schools are already using our displays as a teaching tool. Children love to experience the way life used to be!

Our trains, "work-saving" tools and the 17 lb. iron are always big hits with the kids and allow teachers to talk about history, technology, math, physics and reading.

A tour guide will walk with your class discussing all of the displays. The children are allowed hands-on access to the tools and are also given access to the inside of the train engine.

Kids can view the map of the museum prior to their visit to stimulate discussion or view the 360 panoramic view (553Kb Quicktime player required) of the museum.

Teachers, please call the museum to arrange your trip!
