Multi-Sensory Tour for Kids
Every first Wednesday of the month from 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. now through April 5

Families are invited to participate in the history of Gore Place by experiencing what it was like to live there firsthand. Explore the life of an early 19th-century family through your senses. Visualize what it was like to dine with Christopher and Rebecca Gore, drink tea, and wear early 19th-century clothes. Touch various objects associated with the rooms of the house. Smell the food, drinks, and perfumes of the era as they waft around you. Listen to the sounds of an elaborate dinner party with dancing, music, and games!

It is recommended for children ages 2-10. Admission includes accompanying parent or guardian. Reservations are required. Maximum 10 children.

If you or someone in your group needs an accommodation to participate in this event more fully, please contact us before registering. 

After our April 5 tour, Multi-Sensory Tours will resume in August!

"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."
