This exciting, guided, 1.5-hour tour takes visitors through the Main Level, Ground Level, Gymnasium, and around the exterior of the Mansion (weather permitting) covering public areas of the home where guests, Open Court writers, and generations of workers contributed to the legacy of the Mansion and her stories.
