Complementing the exhibits are a variety of hands -
on educational activities and materials designed to help visitors both
young and old become more involved with history. These materials are for
use during Museum hours. Prearranged tours
and special programs are available to groups coming to the Museum for a
visit. These activities have been created to meet the developmental needs
of our visitors, whether children or adults. Tours include such topics
as pioneer life, railroad history, a cemetery treasure hunt, map reading,
and the history of printing. Special subject tours can be arranged. Traveling
programs have been developed for school or youth groups within the West
Chicago school district and tie- in with State school curriculum guidelines
and Scout badge requirements. Resources such as videos, self - guided tour
brochures and a reference library are also available for public use. For
more information, or to set up a tour or program, please contact the Education
Coordinator at the Museum.
