What to expect on your tour
Tours typically take between 1.5 and 2 hours and you are welcome to take photos throughout the tour.
Small Groups
If you are planning a house and garden tour with a smaller group, roughly fewer than 15 people, you do not need to call in advance. Simply call 815-510-0627 when you arrive at the front gate, and a guide will meet you there.
Large Groups
For larger tour groups—such as bus tours or large garden clubs—advanced notice is appreciated but not required. Depending on the size of your group, we may divide in two, and have one half start with the house and the other half start with the garden.
Tours begin at 10 am and 2 pm
7 days a week, April–October
Contact us to make special arrangements for other times and dates outside our regular hours of operation.
Admission is $15.00 per adult. Cash payment is preferred, but we also accept checks.
