School Tour Information
We hope to resume in-person tours of the Nebraska History Museum in the 2020-2021 school year. Please email our staff to let us know the time and date you hope to visit and we will save it for your group.
We are currently developing the year's tour options and will have a good idea of what they will look like by mid-August. Regardless of what the finished tours look like, they will be based around students having the chance to see cool objects from the past and to explore stories from Nebraska's history from multiple perspectives in a safe and interactive way.
