Mansion Open House

Marsh - Billings - Rockefeller National Historical Park

  • Every week on Saturday at 12:30 PM from May 27, 2023 to October 29, 2023
  • Free

The first floor of the Mansion is available for public viewing during the visitor season (Memorial Day Weekend-October 31) on Saturdays and Sundays, 12:30pm-2:30pm.

A ranger will be stationed outside the Mansion providing introductory talks and assign entry times. There will also be a ranger inside to answer any questions you may have. Visitors enter through the front of the home and exit through the back into the garden. Six people may enter the home at a time. No reservations are required, but we recommend you arrive early to secure your spot as lines can form quickly.

If you are planning your trip in advance and are interested in an in-depth look at the history of the park, see our Guided Tours for information on how to reserve a spot. This experience provides visitors an opportunity to see inside the historic home if they are not able to spend an hour with a ranger or book a tour in advance.
