This tour aims to provide our members with a unique learning experience that includes outdoor hikes and museum visits. So come with us and relax in a comfortable motor coach; entry fees and tickets are handled for you. We will be accompanied by experienced, knowledgeable guides at the sites.
And remember—this is a fundraising tour! Profits from this trip will further our work in supporting the Historic Sites. Now that both sites are fully staffed, the number of school groups, special programs, and events has increased dramatically.The tour includes double-occupancy hotel rooms and some meals. We will give existing Friends’ members priority. Everyone who signs up will receive a complimentary one-year membership in the FCJHS.
