School Tours

Many area public and private schools use the Museum to augment their courses on Mississippi History, Native Americans, and animals. The Museum can also provide specialized tours for other topics. Older students may prefer a scavenger hunt instead of a guided tour.

Teachers, home-schoolers, and parents are welcome to check out these kits that deal with specific subject areas.

Each kit contains plenty of hands-on material, videos, books, posters and lesson plans.

Current kits available are:

  • Mississippi Animals
  • Crawling Critters (insects)
  • Cotton, Shake & Quake (earthquakes and volcanoes)
  • Native Americans
  • Dinosaurs I (3rd grade and under)
  • Dinosaurs II/Prehistoric Life (3rd grade and up)
  • Crime Scene (forensic science)
  • The Final Frontier (space)
  • Feathered Friends and 
  • Animal Adaptations

Future kit topics include magnets and electricity, and Mississippi History. Kits may be rented for two weeks for $10.00. Call to reserve yours!
