Free Admission Day
2024-08-10 10:00 - 15:00
In honor of its 75th anniversary, the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation is hosting a Free Admission Day for you to enjoy a day exploring a variety of arts and cultural sites throughout Linn County while the Community Foundation pays for your admission! Visit Brucemore during this special event for free admission to self-guided tours of the mansion.
Tours begin at 10:00 AM with the final entry time at 3:00 PM. Space is limited inside the mansion. Visitors may be asked to wait outside before entering if capacity limits are reached.
The historic mansion is not currently wheelchair accessible due to preservation work. There are several stairs to access the first floor, and several flights of stairs to see the other floors. Please make the best decision for the accessibility of your party with this knowledge. An elevator is not available from the first floor to the other floors at any time.
