Lifelong Learners & Group Experiences

Picture
We offer onsite and off-site experiences for senior communities, university groups, adult learners, libraries, and non-traditional education communities. Private tours are available for groups of five or more.​

Since much of the historic house tour is not accessible for visitors with mobility impairments, we can visit your site for a special presentation or provide other alternatives. Let's talk about options so your group can get the most out of its experience with the Hermitage.
