Children's Group Tours - non-school
Youth groups, home school associations, girl scout and boy scout troops enjoy group tours of Van Cortlandt House Museum. Our two programs - The Life of a Soldier and Growing Up in Little Yonkers - are perfectly suited for children's groups. These programs include a tour of Van Cortlandt House, along with activities that will entertain and engage campers. The Life of a Soldier allows children to experience life in the Continental Army under General George Washington. Growing Up in Little Yonkers presents a glimpse into the daily life of children growing up in The Bronx, which was part of Yonkers during the 18th century. Activities are held outdoors whenever possible and inside in the event of rain. Admission for children's groups is $5.00 per person, including counselors and youth chaperones who participate in the program. We reserve the right to limit group size to insure the preservation of our Museum House. To book a children's group tour contact our Museum Educator.
