2024 Free Tours & Experiences Annual Appeal
Inspire the future geologists of the world!
Thanks to the generous donors of our 2023 Fall Free Tours Annual Appeal, we have provided 55 free tours from May through November 2024, offering 1,100 children and community members unforgettable experiences and a complimentary rock from our beloved rock pile.
Stephanie, who recently went on a Free Tour, said “the tours are the reason we finally came out. We had an hour drive from McMinnville, it was worth the drive!”
How Your Donation Helps
This fall, our goal is to fund 30 free guided tours and 30 unguided experiences for 2025. Guided tours will be held on specific days at 11 AM, accommodating up to 20 community members. In response to the diverse needs of our community, we are introducing unguided experiences next year, allowing 20 participants to explore the Museum at their own pace on designated days.
Your tax-deductible gift can make a significant impact:
$375 supports one guided tour ($200) and one unguided experience ($175)
Your generosity ensures that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, can appreciate the beauty and importance of rocks and minerals in our lives. Please consider giving today to sustain our invaluable free tour program and support our new unguided experience initiative.
