Dear Teacher,

We are pleased that you have expressed an interest in The Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum. The authors of this pre-visit packet are teachers, so they put themselves in your place as they prepared these materials. It is our hope that these ideas will be catalysts for your own creativity and that the information contained herein will enhance your visit.

Much of the material in the packet can be used before and after your visit with us. Several of the activities lend themselves to being used during the museum visit. However, the packet has been designed so that it can also be used without visiting the museum. Please feel free to copy any of the materials in this packet, and know that we require that you bring at least one adult for every eight (8) students.

Our gift shop carries a number of items appropriate for children to purchase. Postcards, glossy photographs of Roy and Dale, and pens and pencils are a few of the inexpensive souvenirs. Especially popular with children is the "mining cart" where they personally select interesting and colorful stones, and the penny press where they put in a penny (and two quarters) and get back a token of Roy on Trigger, Roy & Dale together, or the museum building sign. All of these items, plus many more, are available for under five dollars.

After your visit, we would be grateful if you would take a few minutes and fill out the teacher survey sheet at the front of this packet. Your comments and observations will help us to know how to best serve you and your students in the future.

We hope that you have a wonderful visit and that you feel truly welcomed by Roy, Dale and the entire Rogers family.

Thank You.
