Put on your white gloves and take a guided tour with Trail End's Superintendent and Curator, Sharie! This special after-hours tour of the mansion will give you the opportunity to step behind the velvet rope and into spaces not normally on exhibit. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at some of Trail End's artifacts that are currently not available for public viewing.
Regular museum admission applies, no extra charge for this tour. Advance registration is required and the white gloves are provided.
Guided tours for adult groups are available on a limited basis and must be scheduled in advance. Docents are not always available, and due to limited staffing, there might not be an experienced guide available for drop-in tours.
Please contact Trail End as early as you can before the event; your request will be accommodated if at all possible.
If you want your group to make an unscheduled stop at Trail End, please give us a quick call - even a short-notice heads-up is greatly appreciated!
