At the Tsongas Industrial History Center in Massachusetts, we have our
staff meet the school groups at the bus.  The groups are told in their pre
visit materials to label their lunch bags
with names, schools and teachers.  We do not offer any refrigeration for
their lunches.
When the groups are met at the bus their lunches are loaded into large
wooden carts with wheels which are later taken up to the lunch room by our
staff after the group goes on their tour or
workshop.

Hope this helps
