Guided Gallery Tours

Behind the Scenes in the Archival Collections

On Fridays and Saturdays, visitors will have the opportunity to see treasures from the archival collection with tours of the library and archives. This “behind the scenes” opportunity will give visitors a chance to see primary sources such as maps and ephemera that are not frequently on display. Museum and archives staff will be on-hand to answer any questions.
