Guided Tours cost $11 per person when purchased online in advance/ $13 when purchased on site. Hands-on activities can be added for $2 per person per activity:

Please check in for your tour at the Phillips House, the red building right directly across the street from the Connecticut Building; follow the brick path to the front of the building - a museum map is located on the front lawn of the building.

We recommend wearing comfortable shoes as this is a walking tour. Due to the historic nature of our buildings, most buildings require ascending or descending stairs during the tour. Only the Blacksmith Shop and Meetinghouse are wheelchair accessible.

In the event of severe weather, tours will be rescheduled.
