Arlington House is open to visitors every day from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, with the exception of January 1st and December 25th when Arlington National Cemetery is also closed.
Guided tours of Arlington House are now provided by park rangers. The tours run every 20 minutes, with the first tour starting at 9:30 am. The last tour of the day will begin at 4:10 pm and the house will remain open until 4:30 pm. Tours will be given on a first come, first served basis and there are no advance tickets. Visitors may still tour the Center Hall, White Parlor and Morning Room, the North Wing, museum and exhibits independent of the guided tours. The second floor is available only to those taking the guided tour.
Please note that Arlington House is currently empty of furnishings in preparation for a major restoration and rehabilitation project due to start in 2008. The house will continue to be open to the public while much of the work is conducted with some possible exceptions. Please call ahead to ensure the house will be open on the day of your visit. The restoration work should be completed in 2010 at which time the furnishings will return.
