More interested in history than art? Discover the other tours we offer (of the Museum, Capitol, and Original Governor's Mansion) here.
- Can't make it to Helena? Check out the virtual tours of the Capitol and Original Governor's Mansion on our website and consider bringing the Original Governor's Mansion to your classroom by ordering our newest footlocker, Original Governor’s Mansion: Home to the Stewart Family in Turbulent Times, 1913-1921.
- Watch Mary Jane Bradbury as Nancy Russell on YouTube, talk about Charlie Russell's life and work.
- Or plan a field trip closer to home. One option is to explore your own neighborhood. Depending on where you live, we may have resources to help.
No matter where you take your students, I hope you'll do the prep work to make their field trip experience truly meaningful. Here are some ideas on how to make field trips more than a fun day away from school.
