Historical Programs

IMPORTANT: Please Read

We will reassess the safety of in-person programming on a month by month basis. In-person programming is subject to cancellation at any time if conditions are deemed unsafe.

At this time, all participants of in-person programming are encouraged to wear a mask, but it is not required when with a park ranger.

School groups are NOT permitted to enter the gift store under any circumstances. It distracts from the educational component of the visit and does not provide an equitable experience for all students. We appreciate your understanding.

Historical field trips will be available from September 1st - December 17 and January 7 - June 14th. Scheduling is done on a first-come first-served basis.

Historical programs are available Tuesday - Friday, with two program time slots per day: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM and 11:15 AM - 12:15 PM.
