Private Tours & Field Trips
Visit outside of regular open hours with your family, school, summer camp, club, or group. Shady picnic tables and benches provide a quiet spot for lunch. You’ll find a generative landscape for hands-on, place-based learning, creativity, and reflection.
Most private tours run between 1 - 2 hours. Visits can go a bit longer, especially if the group is including time for lunch, snacks, or volunteer activity. Groups planning to hike to the homestead via the North Hills Trails System should allot an additional 45 - 60 minutes on either end of their visit. Please see our Getting Here page for accessibility information and directions.
We are happy to tailor the experience to suit your needs.
