Visitor Info

Taking a tour

Guided tours of the Packwood House Museum leave the Tour Center at 15 North Water Street, Lewisburg, at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3:30 p.m.

The tour covers the garden and 18 rooms over three floors in the Museum; an elevator is available for visitors unable to climb the stairs.

Tours generally last about one hour, and include all special exhibits in the Museum.

Special exhibits in the Kelly Gallery can also be included in the tour experience.

Group Tours

Group tours are available during the Museum’s regular hours or by special appointment.

Reservations for groups larger than 10 are required at least two weeks in advance. Larger group tours should expect the tour to take at least 1½ hours.

Themed Tours

Specially-focused tours of the collection are also available upon request. Visitors with an interest in gardens, local history, Bucknell University, and textiles and quilts might enjoy these tour adaptations that concentrate on specific portions of the Museum's collection as the tour is conducted throughout the house. A children's "Zoo Tour" is also available and includes several handouts.
