Educational Tours

The Country Doctor Museum offers educational tours for students of all ages. A docent guides each group through the Museum's extensive exhibits and encourages participants to discover, appreciate, and inquire about nineteenth and twentieth century rural health care. Each guided tour lasts about one hour.

Open year around Tuesday through Saturday, the Museum offers convenient bus parking and a gift shop filled with souvenirs and locally made treasures.

If you have a specific interest, please contact the Museum and let us know how we may cater to your group. We encourage non-school groups of all ages to schedule a tour.

Scheduling

To make your trip more enjoyable, the Museum requires advanced reservations for groups numbering ten persons or more. Depending on the time of year, the Museum may be scheduling more than one group each day, so advance reservations assure you priority attention.

Group Tour Pricing

Standard admission fees apply. Each group of fifteen or more persons is provided two complimentary passes for the group leader and one driver or chaperone.

Chaperones and Accessibility

The Museum consists of three buildings spread over several acres within the Bailey city limits. To ensure a safe and informative visit, groups with members fifteen years old or younger are required to have chaperones. We encourage one adult for every ten young visitors.

The museum is fully accessible to visitors with canes, walkers, and wheelchairs.

Traveling Presentations

Staff from the Country Doctor Museum can also visit your class room or organization. Call for availability and types of presentations. A small fee may apply.

Teacher / Student Packets

The Museum is currently developing teacher / student packets.
