Field Trips

Welcome! There are two options available when planning a group visit:

Option 1: Make the Most of Your Visit - Hire One of Our Partners!

Many local guide services have agreements in place with the National Park Service to offer guided field trips that are curriculum-based!

Option 2: Be Your Own Tour Guide

Visiting Teacher-led means your students will tour the fort under your supervision, instead of exploring with local guides.

If you are unable to hire a local guide, it is your responsibility to:
1) Make a reservation on Recreation.gov.
2) Apply for an Academic Fee Waiver.
3) Review online park resources for pre/post lesson plans.
4) Prepare your chaperones to guide the students using the Teacher-led School Group Tour.

Reservations are first-come, first-served and can be made up to 1 year in advance. The maximum capacity for each school group tour is 38 total people (children and adults). Each one-hour tour will consist of 30 minutes exploring the exterior and 30 minutes exploring the interior.
