School Teacher Information

    The museum is open for School Tours for two weeks in

May prior to the regular season opening.  During a school tour,

students are able to do a variety of activities, from engaging

in a scavenger hunt though the exhibits, to having a lesson

taught in the Joliet School, just to name a few.

     Many of the school groups that come to the museum are fourth

 graders, because that is the most common year to teach Wisconsin

history. However, there are numerous ways that middle school and

high school classes may also use this unique teaching tool.

    If you are a teacher and would like to arrange a field trip to the museum,

please contact Sandy Carlson, Assistant  Director at 715-458-2080,

or e-mail (museum1@chibardun.net).
