Please note that the driveway is historic and very narrow. Wide vehicles and vehicles with little ground clearance may scrape on the historic drive, so please use caution as you navigate through the iron gate entrance.​
How many people can I bring on the tour?
​
We typically host up to 8 people per group. Please call for accommodations.
Is there an ADA entrance?
​​​
ADA access is available via the east entrance, alongside the driveway. Tours begin at the historic rose arbor on the east side of the home.
​
Select first-floor historic rooms and exhibits are wheelchair accessible. Architectural and preservation concerns prevent us from providing elevator service to second-floor rooms; however, interpretive materials are available upon request for exhibits, displays, and the grounds. If you have any questions or concerns about accessibility, do not hesitate to contact us.
Why are tours by appointment only?
​
The house is currently undergoing a long-term restoration project. We’d love to show you behind the scenes, but currently, we are unable to facilitate tours at all times. Feel free to stroll or picnic on our grounds Monday-Friday, 9-1 pm without an appointment.
Can I bring my dog?
​
Your furry friend is welcome on the grounds, but not inside the home. Thank you for understanding.
