On-site & On-farm Tours
The Tobacco
Farm Life Museum offers a variety of experiences for students of
all ages, providing an informative insight into early 20th
century farm family life. Through numerous educational programs, the
museum encourages participants to discover and appreciate the
personal heritage that belongs to each of them. 
Open year-round for tours, we offer a large, easily-accessible, shaded picnic area, a covered stage, convenient bus parking, and special tours for groups.

Scheduling
To make your trip more enjoyable, we require advance reservations for
groups of ten or more. Depending on the time of year, the museum may
be scheduling more than one group on a given day so advance
scheduling assures you priority attention.

Teacher / Student Packets
Through
modern advances in technology, teacher / student packets are
available exclusively on-line. Teachers and students may use any of
the PDF files below, and we encourage educators to share them with
their classes before and after their visit. Because class abilities
rarely coincide with age groups today, we leave the choice of which
information to use to the teacher. In general, the available files
range from third to eighth grade. To view these files, you will need
Acrobat Reader.
