Tours

Guided tours are available for the Homestead. Tour times are 9:30, 10:30, 11:30, 1:30, 2:30, 3:30, and 4:30. Visitors may acquire tickets from the Visitor Center until 15 minutes before the time of the tour. Tickets are not available after this 15 minute cut off. This limit has been initiated to enable the guide and the visitors to reach the Homestead safely, and for the guide to ready the Homestead for the tour.

Tours of the Homestead require standing, walking, and negotiating three flights of stairs. There are no public facilities at the Homestead. In the summer and winter, visitors should be advised that over half the rooms have outside porch entrances and that they should dress accordingly. Temperatures fluctuate and can be extreme during the summer and winter months.

Parking

Parking is available at the Visitor Center, the Homestead, the Administrative Offices, and at the President's gravesite on the crest of Monument Hill.
