Group Tours

Tour Policy

  • Groups are generally limited to 60 students (If both the Museum and Brunk House are being toured, 60 students at each site is recommended) with a ratio of one supervising adult per five students encouraged.
  • If the teacher has not visited the museum previously, a site visit for familiarity and to discuss educational goals is recommended.
  • Supervising adults are to stay with student groups at all times.
  • Tours begin at 1:30 pm.
  • No food or drink is allowed in the museum proper, but an indoor break area with tables and chairs is available for use. No refreshments are provided.
  • If you prefer an outdoor picnic area, Nesmith Park is adjacent to the Polk County Fairgrounds, just across our parking lot.
