TRAVELING TRUNKS (IN DEVELOPMENT FOR SPRING 2021)
Felix Vallé House State Historic Site is currently developing educational traveling trunks for teachers, libraries, families and event coordinators to reserve for use as teaching tools. The museum’s goal is to help young scholars connect to Missouri’s history and its resources. The trunks will offer hands-on reproduction items, books, topic information and other items that can be used to explore Missouri’s past and its environment.
Trunks may be borrowed for up to two weeks within 50 miles of Ste. Genevieve. If outside the 50-mile radius, please contact the site for options. It is the responsibility of the borrower to schedule pickup and drop-off dates, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Other than transportation, there are no fees to use the trunks.
To check on availability, contact the museum at 573-883-7102.
PLEASE NOTE: To prevent possible spread of COVID-19 through surface transmission, trunks will be quarantined for a minimum of two weeks (14 days) between each checkout.
