Typical school tours last one hour and can be tailored to fit specific learning objectives and grade levels. We can accommodate 50 students at a time, separated into groups of about 12 students each. Each group starts the guided tour in a different room in the house.

If your group is larger, we can arrange an additional program in our meeting room and rotate the students in that group with those touring the house.  Inside space is available for students to eat their bag lunches.

Programs can include:
New Hampshire and the Presidency: The Life and Times of Franklin Pierce

Learn about his military service, his involvement in state and national politics before his election to President, and his Presidential accomplishments. 
 

Life of an American Family in the 1840's
