What to Do -- When to Visit

At Martin Van Buren NHS, our visitor season runs from late May to the end of October. Dates may vary and tours are subject to change so please confirm before visiting.

Ranger Guided House tours are the only way to enter inside the historic house and are available daily on a first-come, first-served basis.
Tours begin promptly on the hour at 10 am, 11 am, Noon, 1 pm, 2 pm, and 3 pm.

A visit to President Van Buren's home is a must, but all sorts of other opportunities are available. Plan on spending at least an hour and a half on site.
Events, trails to walk, and activities such as historical and science programs are offered throughout the visitor season, so check out the Calendar for more information.
