Group Tours

Historic Rosedale is happy to host your next group tour! We offer a historic and natural setting for all ages to enjoy through the preservation and interpretation of material culture, architecture, and natural landscapes. We are here to bring history to life outside of books, television, and the classroom! We are pleased to welcome group field trips year-round.

A typical group tour is approximately 1 hour. Please note Historic Rosedale is open to the public on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 10:00 until 3:00.

We have found that groups of up to 100 total, divided into four groups of 20 – 25, works best. If your group has more than 100 individuals total, please work with our Tour Coordinator for options on accommodating this.

Our Group Tour Offering

A group tour consists of a guided tour through four stories of the 1815 Federal home. Visitors are then free to walk the nine acres of gardens and green space at their leisure.

Live Blacksmithing Demonstration Option: For an additional fee of $70.00, your group can arrange to have a live blacksmithing demonstration with one of our skilled Blacksmiths. Subject to availability.

In addition, we offer your group the opportunity to have lunch in our beautiful covered pavilion. Each group will need to supply its own lunch. Chairs and tables are provided. Historic Rosedale does have snacks and water available for purchase.
