Group and School Tours

Our museums are open and available for self-guided tours during regular business hours.

Group Tours: Guided tours are available at no additional charge. Reservations can be made by calling us at 731-779-9000. Along with a tour of the museums, your guided tour also includes a 10 minute video and your group picture taken on the porch of the Sleepy John Estes home. You should allow a minimum of 1 hour for guided tours.

If your group is interested in seeing more of the Brownsville-Haywood County area, additional tours are available upon request (some fees may apply). Please call for details and help when planning your stay in our area.

School Tours: We love to share our museums with children. School tours are available for groups of 30 or less. Larger classes can be accomodated by dividing children into smaller groups and conducting tours simultaneously. School tours should allow a minimum of 1.5 hours for tours. Tour includes a short talk about the center, a video and group picture on the porch of the Sleepy John Estes home. While our museums and tours are free, children should be told that we do have a gift shop where they can make purchases. Our small snack items seem to be the most popular among children.
