Helpful Information

Mission: Museum Village is a living history museum preserving a vast collection of eclectic, 19th century artifacts for educational purposes. Using these original and reproduction artifacts, we provide hands-on experiences and exhibits illustrating the transition from a rural to an industrial culture and economy in America, provoking thought and discussion about history.

Museum VillageWhat to wear:
Our programs are held rain or shine, buildings are heated with wood. Students will be out of doors between buildings frequently. Dress to be comfortable for the weather. We also encourage students to dress the part! Girls in bonnets, dresses, and aprons would fit in wonderfully with our 19th century village, while the boys in dark pants with suspenders, paperboy hats, and white button downs also play the part.

Chaperones:
Two chaperones are required for each class. One adult (teacher, parent) is admitted free for every 10 students. Additional chaperones are admitted at $10 each. If parents are paying their own admission their individual admissions should be collected into one sum prior to the visit. Parents traveling separately from field trip buses should arrive at their school’s check in time.
