Tours

The OCHM is committed to connecting and sharing local history with as many people as possible. Museums are where people come to see history in context, to hear and see human stories from a trusted source and learn universal messages of struggle and hope. Encountering history firsthand not only provides us with knowledge of the past, but also helps us to place the trials of our own time in proper perspective. 

We have several tour options available, with details below.
