Guided Tours

toursFor regular visits to the museum, the gallery does not require a guide. However, if you would like to schedule a tour with a guide, we are happy to book tours for school, adult, scout, home school and other groups.

The museum offers guided tours of the museum and downtown Green River. We look forward to seeing you!

Our two tours, outlined below, can be tailored to a specific area of interest. Maximum capacity for each tour is approximately 25 people. For school groups, we generally do a combination of the following tours to accommodate large numbers. Guided tours are available Tuesday-Friday. We may be able to schedule a special tour on other days depending upon staff availability.

  • Museum Tour: The museum gallery contains artifacts, pictures, and information pertaining to the history of Sweetwater County, from the prehistoric era through recent history. From a dinosaur footprint to a full size coal car, there’s plenty see and experience in the museum gallery.
  • Downtown Tour: The museum is located in the Green River Downtown Historic district and the original town site. Just blocks from historic hotel, mercantile, saloon, and railroad buildings, this downtown walking tour will take you back in time. Remember to hold on to your hat as we ascend the ramp to the rail yard viaduct and watch the trains run under your feet!
