Tours

Tomaquag Museum offers group tours year round designed for adults and children from a variety of Indigenous perspectives, led by an Indigenous Educator. We have thousands of visitors annually from schools, universities, scouts, assisted living programs, corporations, and more. Each tour can be adjusted to your unique specifications. There is a minimum charge of $100 for all private and group tours and that allows you to bring up to 10 guests. Each additional guest is $10 each. For other tour offerings, please check out the program listings for adults and youth!

It allows for student interns to work in collections, archives, museum education and administration. Your investment in Tomaquag Museum supports job creation in RI, growing our economy.
