Historic Kenmore is open for guided tours.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the bulk of your tour at Kenmore will take place outside. Time inside the house will be more limited than normal. Except for access to the restrooms, our visitors center, museum gallery, and gift shop in the Crowninshield Building are closed.
At Kenmore, your visit begins at the Washington Avenue gate, where staff will admit you to the property at your tour time.
Tours will be limited in size to ensure proper social distancing. Masks are required while inside Kenmore.
We strongly suggest that you purchase tickets in advance of your visit to ensure availability, as tour size will be limited.
A cleaning schedule has been established above and beyond the daily cleaning methods. This will assure that all surfaces encountered by the public are wiped down thoroughly several times a day.
