School Groups

Can my group visit the gift shop?

Gift shop visits are available, but must be pre-arranged in order to allow time for the visit.

How many chaperones can I bring?

We will not limit the number of chaperones that you can bring. However, if you have more than two for every ten students you will need to alert the History Center in order to make special arrangements.

My students are coming in buses but I have several chaperones who are driving. Where can they park?

Additional chaperone’s can park at the MCV parking deck located at 14th and East Clay Streets. A voucher will be issued to them by the information desk to cover the costs of parking.
