School Field Trip Visits

For over forty years, thousands of school students have visited the Monument annually to participate in our educational programs - either curriculum based, or simply to have a stimulating out of the classroom experience.

We try to accommodate educational program requests for students on a reservation basis, 3rd grade through college, at the park or in your classroom . We also provide information and materials to facilitate teacher-led self guided class visits.

Take advantage of this opportunity for your students to learn about America's nationally significant cultural and natural resources located in northeast Iowa. 

A detailed description of our program and resources is listed on the "Plan A Field Trip" page. If more information on reserving a ranger conducted program is nedded - contact the Monument at 563.873.3491, or by e-mail. 

* Staff assigned to manage reservations are available intermittently for (only) 4 hours each week on varying days November through April. A phone call is always welcome, however, invariably your message will be forwarded to the responsible staff (internally) via e-mail. E-mailing requests, even general information requests including dates of program availability, during this time period using the link above is the method most direct and efficient. Honest!
