School Tours

Coastal Georgia Historical Society is delighted to offer school tours of the St. Simons Lighthouse Museum and the World War II Home Front Museum.

School tours are offered to public, private, and homeschool student groups, as well as other chaperoned youth organizations.

Group Qualifications:

Guided school tour groups must have a minimum of 10 students and a maximum of 100 students to be considered.
Each museum tour is approximately one hour long and led by trained volunteer guides.
Tours can begin at:
- 9am
- 11am
- 1pm
- 3pm

If you would like to tour both museums in one day, your group will need 3 hours total time.

The cost of school tour tickets is $3 per individual per museum. CGHS limits 1 chaperone for everyone 10 students. To preserve and prioritize the educational experience for students, we request that groups adhere to this ratio. To receive this discount, the school must pay in a single payment.

Tours must be booked at least one month in advance to ensure the availability of our volunteer tour guides.
Group Size: We require a minimum of 10 students and a maximum of 100 students on every school tour.
Each tour is tailored to the ages/grades of the students. Siblings or additional children/adults may create a distraction from the learning experience.
If your group is more than 30 minutes late for your scheduled start time listed above, you will still be allowed to tour the museum, but it will not be a guided tour.

You also have the option of choosing a self-guided experience, depending on the size of your group.

If you are booking a tour on the weekend, or a holiday that we are open, you must self-guide. (pricing and payment requirements still apply)
