The Ralph Stanley Museum welcomes groups of all ages.

We offer a group rate of at least $1.00 off admission prices to groups of ten or more who make advance reservations.* Please call to schedule your group at least two weeks before your visit. This will help museum staff prepare a wonderful experience for your group. Please allot at least 1-2 hours to fully enjoy what the museum has to offer.

*Groups who do not make advance reservations may be charged regular admission rates.

Planning on Having Lunch or Dinner During Your Visit?

We have space available for your group to have lunch. The Community Center, located next door to the Museum, has tables and chairs for at least 100 people. Please indicate to Museum Staff when you book your tour if you would like to reserve this space. During warmer days, your group is more than welcome to use our lawn for a picnic lunch.

Not interested in brown bagging your lunch? Several local restaurants can provide boxed lunches for your group upon preplanning. Most will deliver upon request. Please contact your restaurant of choice directly to make arrangements. It is suggested that you call at least one day in advance.
