COST: $45.00 per person, please let us know if you need assistance and we can make arrangements.

The home was built in the 1940’s, and it is not ADA accessible at this time. Accommodation can be provided as needed, so please don’t let that hinder your visit.

We will spend time in the gardens, and then head up to the house and studio.
This is for people 12 and older
