We are open Wednesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and noon to 4 PM on Sunday.

When a time frame is listed, such as 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, it means the demonstration or tour runs continuously through the time frame, ending at that time. You may enter and exit at any point during the demonstration or tour.

Many objects, furnishings and collections are rare and fragile. Please do not touch. No food, drink, or smoking are permitted in the historic buildings.

Other than service dogs, no pets are allowed on the historic grounds. The ADA requires that service animals be under the control of the handler at all times.
