FAQ

How much does it cost?

Tour pricing depends on group size and season.  See our pricing page for details.

When should we arrive?

At least 15 minutes prior to the start of your tour.

What is the minimum/maximum group size?

We require 60 people to book a tour. Once that anchor group has set a date, any number of participants may join that tour up to our maximum of 850 people.

Can we buy food?

There is on site food at the Bakery which can be ordered or purchased throughout the day. A “soldier’s ration” of cornbread and beef jerky is normally provided unless we are otherwise instructed by your school or group leader.

Can we bring our own lunch?

Many schools do bring lunches for the students, as the ration provided is modest. You will be given a picnicking area for whichever you choose.

How do we get there?

See Map for driving directions.

What is the typical age group for this tour?

This tour’s educational content is geared towards 5th grade curriculum, but is fun for all ages, young and old.

Do I need to group my students a certain way before I get there?

We group all of our guests into labeled “townships” of roughly 35 each. If you would like to do that before your arrival, it will save a few minutes in the parking lot upon arrival, but it isn’t required. All of our tour leads are prepared to greet and assist you when you arrive. They will provide you with all necessary paperwork and directions, and assist your students with lining up into straight lines behind the township flag for your group(s).

Do I need to cover any specific topics with my students before the trip?

Not unless you wish to. As with all of our programs, our historians teach as they go. Extra knowlege can help, but is not required.

Do I need reservations?

Groups need reservations, but individuals may join a tour in progress if space is available.
