Guided Tours
We offer guided tours for school groups, bus tours, government agencies, businesses and more.
Please contact us well in advance to book your tour.  Reservations fill up quickly!

Tour admission packages are available upon request.

 

We ask that you arrive with enough time to enjoy our short film explaining the conditions that led to the fire and to walk through our many exhibits. Because the museum closes each day at 5:00pm, we ask that you arrive no later than 4:15pm. We have a great story to tell and it takes a little time!

 

Please note:  The museum is intended to give the feeling of history.  There were no mobile phones in 1894, so we respectfully request that you turn off all phones, pagers and other electronics before entering the museum and take any important calls outside as a courtesy to our guests.  Flash photography is permitted in the museum, however it must not cause undue distraction to other guests. Rest room facilities are available to museum guests.  Well-behaved pets are permitted.
