On some occasions, the education programs are presented by a ranger or park volunteer in living history clothing.

The park requests that all large group tours notify us before coming to visit. We receive lots of requests from school groups and bus tours to visit the park, particularly in the spring. We want you to have a pleasant and enjoyable experience without having to compete with other large groups, so scheduling is the key.
