We are excited to host your school’s field trips at the Boot Hill Museum! Below you will find some helpful information before you arrive. 
 
BEFORE YOUR VISIT
  1. Discuss proper museum etiquette with your group, no loud voices, no running, be courteous to other visitors, be respectful of the property, etc.
  2. Please assign each of your students into groups of 10 or less. Each group should have at least one adult chaperone assigned to it. This will be your buddy group leader. We highly recommend dividing into groups before you leave your school.
  3. Remind your adult chaperones to wear a watch or bring along some kind of timepiece, to help keep their group on schedule.
 
UPON ARRIVAL
  1. Please keep your students on the bus and send in the adult responsible for organizing the tour. This person will settle any remaining balance your group might have and receive instructions on how your group should navigate the museum.
  2. Each adult buddy group leader will receive a Teacher’s Guide and Map provided by Boot Hill Museum. This guide is full of lots of information for you to share with your students during the tour.
  3. Each group will start at a different location, those locations will be circled on the Teacher’s Guide. Everyone should proceed in numerical order until they reach the end, then start at #1 until you have visited each location.
 
We have several locations for the kids to eat if you are planning on bringing a sack lunch the day of your visit. We are hopeful the weather will be nice and the kids can eat on the patio, but if not, we have made space indoors.
