About the Program: We offer special guided tours of Campbell House and beyond focused on a topic not normally covered in your regular visit to the historic house. These tours last about 50 minutes and then you're welcome to tour the house on your own. We recommend pre-booking as the tour often sells out.
**Please be aware that Campbell House is a historical building with many stairs.**
