Time to register your students for School Tours 2026 at the Thumb Octagon Barn & Agricultural Museum. This years theme will be “Corn Products”. We will have over 20 informational stations in action and learn about all the foods/merchandise that are made using Corn. School Tours 2026 are scheduled for Wednesday, May 13th, Thursday, May 14, and Friday, May 15th, 2026. Mark your calendars/planners. A unique educational learning experience for students – preschool through 8th grade, plus Tech Center students.
We are collaborating with Michigan State University Extension, Michigan Corn Growers Association, and other organizations to provide additional educational support/information appropriate for students at a variety of ages. More details coming!
Volunteers: we are looking for your return as well and PLEASE bring your friends to help!
Stay in touch with what’s happening at the Barn throughout the year via the website and/or ‘Like’ us on Facebook. Feel free to share this information. Make sure to check out our resources ‘For Students’ here.
