Visitor Guidelines
Group Tour Guidelines
The Johnny Appleseed Educational Center and Museum is on the first floor of a relatively small building of approximately 1500 square feet.
The building’s floor space and the number of museum staff members required to conduct tours create limits for sizes of groups. The larger the group the more advanced notice is required.
This helps ensure a good tour.
To book a tour for your group of 16 or more, complete the Larger
Group Reservation Form.
Groups less than 15, no advance notice is required.
Groups of 16 and less than 40, the museum requests at least two-weeks’ notice.
For groups of more than 40, the museum requests at least one month’s notice.
For groups of more than 60, the museum requests at least one month’s notice, and a $100 donation to The Johnny Appleseed Foundation. This donation helps cover part of the cost of additional museum staff required for a large group.
Your donation of $100 can be made by check, or by clicking on the Donate button and following the prompts.
Please make your check payable to The Johnny Appleseed Foundation.
Please mail your check to:
