Gussie House Tour

Educational Tours
School groups will learn about the history of Gainesville and Alachua County, the Matheson family and the Museum’s collections in a docent-led interactive tour. Some tours may include an architectural walking tour of the Southeast Historic District’s Victorian-era homes. Teachers may download the Matheson Museum’s Curriculum Guide, a teacher’s introduction to the tour experience with suggestions for pre- and post-activities for the classroom. A student activity packet, with games and puzzles about area history, will soon be available on-line.
