Guided Group Tours 

Every year we host group tours for a wide audience of visitors, including school groups, mystery bus tours, senior groups, and book clubs. Group tours include a presentation, a museum visit, tour of Cottage 11, and a film narrated by former State Schooler Harvey Ronglien that was taken in 1930. There is a fee for group tours. Special rates apply to school groups.

To schedule your tour today, email museum@owatonna.gov or call the Museum office at 507-774-7369. We suggest a minimum of 10 people for a group, but we're flexible.
