Why Bring Your Group to Cuvilly Arts & Earth Center?

Because Cuvilly Arts & Earth Center is:

• approximately 15 acres of marsh, wood, pond and pasture
• a barnyard full of pigs, geese, henhouses and chickens
• a 19th-century timber barn home to sheep, goats, donkeys, and an alpaca named Charlie
• an organic garden that is a model of ecological sustainability
• a study in energy efficiency and innovation with its wind turbine and photovoltaic array
• an authentically constructed Nushwetu indigenous lodge and 17th-century timber framed house typical of early Ipswich residents
• a solar-heated "House of the Future" constructed with ecologically friendly materials

Whether you're a teacher whose class is reading the barnyard classic Charlotte's Web, a scout leader in search of a destination worthy of a science badge or an art instructor looking for the perfect plein-air painting location, Cuvilly Arts & Earth Center makes learning come alive.

Important: The maximum number of participants in any one group is limited to 25.

Cost: There is a charge of $5 per tour participant/visitor in addition to a flat group reservation fee of $50. The total is due one week in advance of the scheduled visit.
