Our note
The visit is built around splitting a class in two, so half your group is at the Pioneer Museum along the road while the other half is in the schoolhouse. Only Thursdays and Fridays are offered and only from September to June, so ask early. The length changes with the grade, so say how old your group is when you send the form.

What the children do

Museum curators run a planned lesson pitched at the grade level. Half the class starts in the Schoolhouse Museum while the other half tours the Pioneer Museum along the road, then the two halves swap after a snack and a washroom break. The site says each museum takes 30, 45 or 60 minutes depending on the grade. The price is five dollars per student and the visit is booked through an inquiry form.

Sit in the one room schoolhouse and do an appropriate lesson for their grade, write in cursive with a dip pen and ink, spin a button spinner, and hunt for artifacts among the displays.

Good to know

A washroom break and a snack or lunch are built into the visit, and the schoolhouse is fully wheelchair accessible. Bus parking, how many adults have to come and the youngest age they take are not stated, so ask when you book.

Sources disagree. Their home page says admission to both museums is free, and their tours page says a second visit on another day costs something. Neither page gives an amount. Worth settling when you book.
