Virtual Tours
We are now offering online tours for your enjoyment from the convenience and safety of your home. A docent will guide you through Fort Winnebago Surgeons Quarters and the Garrison School.
Since the tour is live, reservations must be made a minimum of 2 business days in advance. Tours last approximately 1 hour, and admission is a $10 flat fee. This is not a per-person rate. The cost is $10 per computer logged in, so gather with your family and friends.
After reserving a time slot and confirming your credit card payment, you will receive login information via email to join a conference call on your computer hosted via Zoom. During the call, you will see a pre-recorded video of our site, but the docent will be speaking to you live and has the ability to pause and adjust the video as necessary during the tour.
Using your computer's microphone, you have the option of interacting in real time with the docent. No microphone? No problem! Just use the chat feature on the sidebar to interact via text.

Tours for school groups, summer camps, summer schools, home school groups, scouting troops, or others can be scheduled through our collaborative partner, the Historic Indian Agency House, by phoning them at (608) 742-6362.
We recommend that tour groups be no larger than 24 children and that at least five adult chaperones also be in attendance. A FWSQ docent will lead students and chaperones on a guided tour of the Surgeons Quarters and/or Garrison School. Following the tour, students and chaperones are welcome to have a picnic lunch at either site. Each site takes approximately 30 minutes to tour.
Not included in the tours, but highly recommended, is a stop at the nearby Military Road, Old Fort Winnebago Cemetery, and Historic Indian Agency House. Read about those sites here.
