School Field Trips

Historic Board and Batten Railroad Depot with old horse-drawn wagonTeachers can now book school field trips at the Historical Park. Even if your school has toured the Historical Park before, we highly encourage you to visit us again. We have added new hands-on interactive features so students can learn through play! Your garden club or homeschooling group can also book a tour!

On our school field trips, students experience history as it comes to life! A field trip includes a tour of the different structures of the Historical Park led by trained docents in period costumes. Teachers can customize the tour by choosing which buildings to see and whether the tour will include a museum store visit. All tours include a take-home booklet for students and teachers.
