***
This 90-minute walking tour is sidewalk-based and will leave the Museum promptly at the scheduled time. Guests need to be prepared for all types of weather and should wear comfortable walking shoes.

The tour is subject to cancellation if there are less than 4 attendees. No more than 20 persons per tour.

Pre-registration via our online ticket portal is highly encouraged as it helps to confirm attendance on a tour (and that it won’t be cancelled for lack of registration/attendance). Walk-up registration may be permitted if space is available (no guaranteed admittance).

***
Tours are FREE and donations are welcomed.

Tours may be cancelled unexpectedly due to extreme heat or adverse weather conditions (such as wildfire smoke) or tour guide illness. In those circumstances, the Museum will do its best to announce any such cancellations before the scheduled tour. If no one is registered for the tour, the tour may be removed from the schedule without any notice.

Other dates and times may be available upon request. Contact us to learn more at https://kchm.org/contact-us/
