Tours of the park leave from the Visitor Center daily during our open season (April 19 - November 10). Tours depart the Visitor Center on a trolley which will bring you to the Presidential Birthplaces where you will be dropped off for a guided tour with a Park Ranger. After this half hour tour the trolley will then bring you to the Old House where you will have an hour long guided tour with a Park Ranger. The trolley will then pick you back up and return you to the Visitor Center. For the protection of the historic homes and artifacts, and quality of visitor experience, a maximum of 10 visitors per tour is allowed.  Tours are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tours of the three homes are approximately two hours and the cost is $5.00 for adults, under 16 are free. All National Park Passes are honored. Please be aware that the only restrooms for the park are located at the Visitor Center. Large bags and backpacks are not permitted inside of the homes.
