Be sure to check the weather! During the course of your visit you will be outside so please dress accordingly.

It is surprising how many schools come to visit us without knowing how long it will take to get here. We know that your time here is limited and we would like you to experience as much of our Museums as possible, so why not check and see how long this trip is going to take? Just click on the map!
When you visit, please plan on coming straight to The Farmers’ Museum to drop off your students. We have more room for buses than is at the Fenimore, and you will need to drop off your lunches, use the restrooms, check in with Admissions, and give us an opportunity to greet everyone and tell you about your day. We promise that we will get you to your scheduled program!
