Field Trips at Chieftains Museum

Field Trips to Chieftains are fun as well as educational.  
The price of our basic tour is $1.50 per student.  
 
 
We also offer teachers an opportunity to select one of our expanded programs. Expanded programs are hands-on activities designed to teach participants about Native American culture in a fun way. We do ask that groups over 30 select at least one expanded program to be part of your field trip in order to accomodate all students effectively. Groups over 60 should select two expanded programs.  
 
The cost of a tour with one expanded program is $2.50 per student. Each additional expanded program will cost $1.50. Allow one hour for the basic tour and approximately one additional hour for each expanded program.  
 
Teachers are always admitted free; one free adult per every 10 paid students. Additional adults, $1.50 each. Bus drivers free.  
 
Chieftains Museum/Major Ridge Home is located adjacent to Ridge Ferry Park. You may want to include a picnic as part of your day's activities. The walking trail between Ridge Ferry Park and along the Chieftains property is now complete.  
 
Museum hours: Tuesday - Friday: 9:00 a.m. - 3 p.m.  
Saturdays: 10:00 a.m. - 4 p.m.
