We invite you to explore our reconstructed farm buildings at the monument.
Enhance your students’ learning with our curriculum-based education programs, available Wednesday through Friday, weather and staffing allowing. These interactive, guided tours run 45 minutes to 1 hour. Early booking is recommended to secure your preferred date, especially in April, May, and October, which fill quickly. While we do not hold rain dates, we will attempt to reschedule tours if possible.

Admission is always free, and the monument is open Monday through Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We look forward to helping you provide a meaningful field experience for your students.

The following sections below outline options and resources for your group to explore at the monument.

To reserve your class, call the park at (540) 682-0173; or email at email us.
