Field Trips

Tailor your field trip to the Bolduc House Museum so that it fits the time you have available and the kinds of experiences you want your students, scouts, or campers to have here.

The Basic Field trip lasts 45 minutes so you can easily incorporate visits to the Felix Valle State Historic Site, the Ste. Genevieve Museum, and the Guibourd Historic House on the same trip.

Our Extended Field trip lasts 90 minutes.

In addition, we provide a four hour program of guided educational activities, games, crafts, and a visit to the Hands-On History Room for additional charges.

We expect that our visitors will discover that history is fun.
