El Pueblo History Museum offers a number of guided school tours, each of which features hands-on activities. Students benefit from interactive experiences to learn about the history of Colorado and the American West, and the many cultures and groups who have called this region their home.

Every tour will include four activities. These will be selected by the education team in alignment with the tour option selected by the teacher. Tours may be adjusted to meet necessary accommodations for your group.

Groups of over 50 may be split into both morning and afternoon tours. Museum staff will work with you to finalize the schedule for the day. We offer morning and afternoon tour options from  9:00AM-12:00P.M and 1:00 P.M- 2:00 P.M
