How to Schedule a Class Tour at the Clarke Museum
A school tour at the Clarke Historical Museum offers a unique educational opportunity for area children. There are new and ongoing exhibits about local history and museum guides ready to give tours. Our large hall devoted to local Native American culture is particularly appropriate for state curriculum, and the main hall provides changing exhibits on many aspects of Humboldt County’s rich heritage. In addition, we offer several outreach programs where hands-on kits are taken into classrooms. We can bring the Clarke Museum to you.
Private tours of the Clarke Historical Museum are only offered to members. By paying the modest $25 fee for a year’s school membership, your school can schedule one free docent-led class tour or outreach visit. Each additional class tour over the course of the membership year will cost $25. Outreach tours are also $25, but outside of the Eureka-Arcata geographical area an additional charge of 51¢ per mile will be applied (up to 60 miles round-trip). We urge you to join right away and to let all of your teachers know about the educational and fun services we are waiting to provide. Just fill out the form below and return it with your membership fee.
We recognize that some school budgets are prohibitively tight. In an attempt to minimize the exclusion of school children due to financial issues, we invite classes on a budget to come on a self-guided tour. Donations for self-guided tours are welcome, but not mandatory. In conjunction with the self-guided tours, scavenger hunts are available upon request. Be sure to place an order with the office manager at least a week in advance of the field trip to allow for proper preparation.
Your support not only provides educational experiences to your students, it helps the Museum to continue preserving and presenting the fascinating history of our area.
