Tour Presentation
              The children will have a brief orientation of the Settlement.
                     A video of the history will be shown prior to the tour.
 
              This Settlement is a composite of early and turn of the century
                     structures that are furnished.  The tour guide will share the history
                     and significance of each building and it's artifacts.   The children are
                     encouraged to compare today's life with lives 100 yrs. ago.  The
                     tour leaders incorporate what the students are learning in their
                     history classes.
                   
               The children's classes will be divided into several groups and at the sound
                     of the plantation bell, they will proceed to the next site. There are several
                     stops for each group.   (15 per tour group is the norm)
 
                     There are 26 exhibits on the campus.   The tour usually includes
                     the 1840 log house, a tenant house, a one room school house, clinic,
                     plantation house, commisary, blacksmith shop, log corn bin and the train
                     station.
 
                Lunches may be brought by students to be eaten on the grounds.
               
                The teachers are given brochures and the children are encouraged to
                     bring their families another time.
 
                  Sometimes two school buses will come to Scott.   One will tour Toltec
                      Mounds State Park and the other  The Scott Plantation Settlement, then
                      they will switch locations  and have a picnic before returning to school.
 
                The children are given a chance to play tag, walk on walking sticks, ring
                the plantation bell, etc.    It is a very kid friendly, low key place that once
                visited, they will want to return.  It is on an 8+ acre tract of land.
