Field trips and outreach visits create opportunities for students to work directly
with primary sources. We offer a wide range of programs on-site for all grades. 

​

Register your group

Complete the school group registration form to help us better serve you.
Groups that register will receive one SCHS campus guide for each chaperone
upon arrival at the Museum, up to six guides per registered group. 
Tours are free to school districts located in Steele County. 

​

Consider accessibility concerns

The History Center's entrances, exhibitions, and restroom areas are fully accessible.
The Village of Yesteryear has limited accessibility.

​

Plan for lunch

Brown bag lunches may be eaten outside in the park pavilion located just south of the
History Center. In the event of inclement weather and space permitting, lunches may
be eaten in the History Center.

 

Recruit chaperones

Students on the SCHS campus must be supervised at all times. It is vital that chaperones
and teachers accompany students while in the History Center and in the Village of Yesteryear,
both to monitor behavior and to ensure students’ safety.
The required student-chaperone ratios are:

• One adult for every five students, grades Pre-K through 2

• One adult for every ten students, grades 3 – 7

• One adult for every 15 students, grades 8 – 12

​

Plan your route

The SCHS campus has more than over 150,000 square feet of public space. We recommend printing museum
maps for students and chaperones. Printable maps are located at the right.
