​Plan Your Museum Tour

Since 1960, the Clarke has steadily welcome thousands of school children each year for tours of both wings of the Museum. A school tour at the Museum offers an engaging and educational experience for both children and adults.
​
The museum features a variety of new and ongoing exhibits focused on local history, with knowledgeable guides available to lead tours. Nealis Hall the Clarke's Indigenous wing, is dedicated to the cultures of local Native American tribes and aligns especially well with state curriculum. The Main Hall features rotating exhibits that highlight many aspects of Humboldt County’s rich heritage.

Docent-led school tours are available on a sliding scale of
$50–$100, depending on the size of the group. 

School tours are typically divided into two groups, with each group spending about 30 to 45 minutes in each wing of the Clarke . For classes with 50 or more students, the tour will be divided into four (30 - 45 min) rotations to accommodate the larger group.  
 
We also offer private tours for adult groups. For more information on rates - which vary based on group size - please contact us at [email protected].
