OUR SERVICES INCLUDE:

GROUP TOURS:
Guided tours are perfect for schools, organizations and clubs and are available to groups of 15 or more. We will provide you with a knowledgeable and friendly guide who will give you facts on items you may have never seen before, tell you some interesting facts about people from Boone County (i.e. Judy Ford, General Hurlbut, and "Mr. Baseball" Fred Schulte), and discuss some of the events that have happened in the past. It's easy to learn when you are having fun, so come find out what grandma meant by "back in my day."
Here is a look at some of the things you will see. *New

SELF-GUIDED TOURS:
For those who are "just curious," we have a self-guided tour information sheet that will take you room by room. As you advance through the museum you can read a brief description of several exhibits along the way.

PARTIES:
Family getting too big? Why not have your family reunion at the museum? We are available for class reunions, family reunions, anniversaries, meetings, or any special occasion or event that you may be planning. Your party will also consist of a limited tour (i.e. one area of the museum).

WEDDINGS:
Our early 1900's Chapel adds a special touch to your wedding. Your wedding package will consist of silk flowers and lighting in the Chapel area, special recorded music (upon request), a personal assistant (rehearsal and wedding), and assistance with decorations. You may also have a reception with light food and punch. Our wedding coordinator will work with you every step of the way to ensure that your day is a special and memorable one. Let our memories become your memories.
