I would check their website for hours and fees. Currently, their winter hours (through March 2020) are limited to only being open on Wednesdays and admission is $15.00 for adults, $13.00 for seniors and college students. I don’t know what their hours and rates will starting in April.

I am thinking of the museum as a group destination for our Hadassah women's group. We would like to come off season with about 15 -20 women. We would need a guided tour and lunch and information on transportation if you have any. I was thinking of the charity bus from the casino... Do you think this would be of interest to us?

Absolutely, I'm not 100% sure, but bet they would love to do that for you and the museum is well worth visiting. Call and get the details. Just google Pequot Museum.
