The Blackhawk Museum Programs Department schedules School/Youth and Adult/Senior Group tours. These tours provide a unique opportunity for visitors of all ages. The Auto, Spirit of the Old West, Art of Africa, Into China and World of Nature Galleries allow visitors to experience and explore amazing educational, artistic, cultural and historical artifacts in one place. These galleries also support the California State Content Standards for History, Social Science, English/Language Arts and Fine Arts. All tour requests must be made four (4) weeks in advance of the scheduled tour.

All donations to the Children’s Education & Transportation Fund, a non-profit 501 ( c ) 3 organization, have been matched to $25,000 annually by the Patricia R. Behring Foundation. This Foundation provides school groups with funding for transportation & admission costs while visiting the Blackhawk Museum.

Educational programming has been a primary mission of the Blackhawk Museum since opening in 1988. Over 200,000 students have visited the Museum during the last 30 years with tours targeting every age level. We invite all school groups, grades Kindergarten through High School, to experience the Blackhawk Museum.
