Programs consist of a presentation that may include slides and an interactive “show and tell” format with many artifacts and models. Most sessions are approximately 45 minutes long. Presentations can be tailored for any age: preschool through adult. Sessions for small groups of 50 students or less within a ten mile radius of our museum are usually $125 for a single session, or $100 each for multiple sessions plus mileage. Larger groups and custom presentation pricing is also available.
We have provided outreach programs at schools in Alden, Blasdell, Buffalo, Depew, Hamburg, Lancaster, Orchard Park, Pendleton, Silver Creek, Tonawanda, several public libraries, and special presentations for the Hamburg Natural History Society, New York State Parks, Canisius College and Monroe Community College.
