Come to our special babywearing tour led by our Family Educator. We’ll see our gorgeous 1806 Mansion, and we won’t mind if your baby sleeps – or cries – through our tour!

Cost: $16 per caregiver. Free to members.

"My favorite thing about Gore Place is the tours. Even though the path through the Mansion is the same, every tour is different, and I learn something new every time."
