 Group Reservations
Required:
Reservations are required for all groups of 10 or more.
The historic structures are at an advanced age and were designed
for family living, not as public facilities. To minimize building
stress, the maximum size of any group permitted to enter is 50
people. Larger groups will be admitted in two or more sections.
This helps us provide you with the highest quality tour.

The site is a very popular tourist attraction in Hyde Park,
especially during the fall foliage season. Tours often sell
out during the month of October, and on weekend afternoon throughout
the year. Advance group reservations are necessary months
prior to your planned visit. Families and Individuals can
also reserve ahead.
