Experience the mansion like never before! 

Take a sensory tour of Trail End State Historic Site, led by our staff member Aubree, who herself is legally blind and has a service dog.

This will be an in-depth audio tour with the opportunity to step into exhibit rooms, feel different objects and materials used in the home, and experience early 1900s music.

The tour includes both indoor and outdoor components. Inside, there is a modern elevator that can accommodate smaller wheelchairs. Outside, we'll be walking on paved pathways with optional stops on the lawn. For an additional sensory experience, join us for period-appropriate refreshments on the porch after the tour!

Regular museum admission applies, no extra charge for this tour. 

Service dogs are welcome, and modern restrooms are located inside the mansion. Advance registration is required: click the button below!

  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.

Trail End plays host to hundreds of school children every spring. 

Have a group of kids you want to bring? We have some pretty specific rules you need to follow, from size of group to number of chaperones. 

To schedule a tour, contact Trail End as soon as possible. Tours times in April and May book up fast!

 The Trail End grounds are open to the public from sunrise to sunset. 

There is no charge for casual grounds use (picnics, small photo sessions, etc.), but there may be charges for those wishing to hold weddings or other special events.

These videos were produced as part of the TechnoPast Kids Xtreme History Summer Program.
