Ever wonder what is behind the closed doors of the Brucemore mansion? Or what it might be like to sneak into the attic or the organ pipe room? Or to hear the rain in the Tahitian Room? This is your chance! This special tour will give visitors the opportunity to see the mansion from the inside out and learn about the architecture and technology involved in its construction, as well as an insider’s glimpse into the daily lives of its residents.
Led by Executive Director Jim Kern, this 90 minute tour will expand upon the regular mansion tour by including a walk around the house to discuss architecture features, in addition to the basement storage areas, organ pipe room, archive and collections rooms, and the attic.
