A more comprehensive one-and-a-half-hour tour encompassing all six floors of the mansion, from the observation tower to the basement kitchen is an alternative for those capable of climbing five flights of stairs and is available upon request. Garden Clubs and outdoor adventure groups may choose Landscape tours.
