Birthday Parties |
MUSEUM BIRTHDAY PARTIES Museum birthday parties are scheduled in three hour blocks - one hour for the party and two hours for a tour. The party can be before or after the tour; parents are responsible for all refreshments, decorations and paper products. Party planners may select a theme based on the education department's school tour offerings or a general tour. Parties should be reserved no less than three weeks in advance, but farther ahead is strongly encouraged as the Museum's facilities fill up quickly and we must ensure that a staff member is available to conduct the party and tour. No birthday parties will be scheduled during major museum events such as May-Day or Octoberfest, after regular business hours, on holidays or when the Museum is closed. Requests for birthday parties will be booked by Sasha Duke, who will reserve an available space (such as the lower Octo barn). Call 540-332-7850 from M-F from 830 a.m. - 5 p.m. and ask for Sasha. On weekends, please leave a message for Sasha at extension 110 and she will return your call during the business week. The cost for a Museum Birthday party is $130; checks should be payable to the American Frontier Culture Foundation, and designated "Birthday Party". A non-refundable 50% deposit of $65 is due on booking; deposit must be received within 5 business days or reservation may be cancelled. The remaining $65 is due one week (5 business days) before the party. If the Museum is able to secure another booking to take the place of any cancellation, the balance fee of $65 may be returned if it has been paid. The original deposit of $65 is non-refundable. |
