Tours for school children of all ages are our most important educational program. Tours go outdoors to look at local geology, then indoors to learn about rocks, minerals, and fossils.
Tours start on the hour, last one hour, and are free.
Tours must be scheduled in advance. Teaching Trunks contain rock, minerals, fossils, gemstones, charts, and a teaching guide. The John Hanley memorial Fossil Teaching Kits contain a wide variety of vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant fossils, all identified. Both Trunks and Kits are designed for hands-on use. In addition, the Museum has mineral and fossil materials to loan or give to other institutions and teachers for exhibit and teaching.
