Walk in the Footsteps of History

Students are $4 each and adults (in addition to chaperones) are $8 each. We accept credit card, checks, cash or invoicing is available upon request

The museum enjoys welcoming thousands of school age children to the museum each year. Students include those who attend public schools, private schools or are attending home schools. There is no minimum to the number of students needed to qualify as a school tour. 

School tours are invited to visit the museum whenever it works best in the class curriculum, but we see are largest numbers of school tours March - early June each year. If you are looking to schedule a tour during those months, we recommend scheduling as early as possible as those months fill up quickly. 

It is museum policy to require a minimum of 1 chaperone for every 10 students. These chaperones can be a teacher, an aid, or a parent. The chaperone is responsible for the behavior of the students while on the tour. You will receive 1 complimentary ticket for every ten children on the tour. 

Due to capacity of our building and volunteer docents, we break large groups into smaller groups of 10 students + 1 chaperone per volunteer docent. We can start at most 3 small groups at one time, and start additional small groups approximately every 15 minutes. Please keep this in mind when deciding on how much time you will need at the museum. A staff member will be happy to workout the proper amount of time needed for your group sizes when you call to schedule your tour. 

There is a large room located on the second floor of our building that schools are welcome to use for lunch and/or a place for students to wait before or after their tours. There is currently no fee for the use of this room, but the Milton House Museum reserves the right to charge a usage fee if the room is left dirty or in disrepair after your school uses the room. 

There is also a great park located right across the street from the museum that has picnic tables and play ground equipment that schools are welcome to use if the weather allows.

Teachers and chaperones are responsible for all students and their behavior for the duration of their time at the museum. Students may not be left unsupervised while at the museum for any reason. 

Please call the museum at 608.868.7772 to schedule your tour with a staff member. If you have any concerns about group size or additional questions, the Milton House staff will do all they can to work with you to ensure your students can enjoy the museum.
