PROGRAM SCHEDULING INFORMATION


Cost

The Harriet Fuller Rust Education Endowment Fund underwrites admission fees for all prearranged educational tours, and also for individual students using the Museum's resources for class assignments.

Donations are always gratefully accepted!

Reservations

Advance reservations are required. Please call at least three weeks in advance. October/November and April/May are our busiest times, so planning ahead is essential.

Following your phone reservation, a letter confirming details will be mailed to you. Please call us immediately with any corrections.

Tour Times

Tours are booked between 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Programs generally run 90 minutes, but can be tailored to fit your schedule. Limited program changes may be made with advance notice and time adjustments.

Chaperones

A minimum of one chaperone is required for every 10 students. Chaperones are expected to help students with activities and must assist with discipline. Chaperones should not bring additional children to school programs.

Parking

Parking in front of the museum is limited to 90 minutes, and this is strictly enforced by the city. If traveling by car, we suggest parking in the Lincoln Parking Deck located on Front Street and Main, one block south of the Museum. Cost is about $.65 per hour. Buses and school vans may park in our parking zone on the north side of Washington Street for the duration of the tour. Bus drivers are welcome to tour the Museum while they wait.
