Tours

Together, your group can discover the history and mystery of this National Historic Landmark.

We welcome and customize tours for groups of all ages.

To schedule a FREE field trip or group tour, please fill out the Book a Tour form.

When booking a guided tour for your group, you have the opportunity to participate in a special activity if time allows. Each activity is designed with different age groups and interests in mind and should last between 15 and 20 minutes.

The History of Amendments, Civil Rights, and Voting - Students are challenged with understanding the importance of voting and what it means when certain groups are not given that right. Two will be chosen as public speaking volunteers in which they will represent candidates presenting two different sides of an issue. Then, everyone will get the opportunity to vote.
Meet the Artifacts (min. of 20 minutes)- Students will learn the role of a museum curator as they answer questions about different artifacts to decide if they should be included in the museum’s collection. Students will work together to determine the significance of historic artifacts, what a museum does, and the importance of artifacts in telling an accurate history of the past.
Head To Head - Students will work together to make group decisions. They will practice their discussion and persuasion skills before voting which “winner” will progress to the next round. Two possible topics: “Which food is most unique to Louisiana?” or “Who influenced Louisiana Culture More?”
