Tours of the historic home are available from May 3rd through October 29th 2023. Operating hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Purchase tickets in advance from www.Recreation.gov.

Allow at least 3 hours for a full park tour. The cost of the tour is $15.00 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.

The houses are old and were built as family homes, not tourist attractions, and some rooms have limited space. For the protection of the historic homes and artifacts, and quality of the visitor experience, a maximum of 8 visitors per tour is allowed. For these reasons, and for the safety and security of the staff and our visitors, large bags and backpacks are not permitted in the historic homes. Be advised that the park does not have storage lockers for these items and we recommend they be left in your vehicle or at your hotel.
