Admission for Guided Tours

Considerations

Number of guests must be confirmed before the event, and any changes must be noted at least one week in advance. All reservations are based on the availability of the mansion. Call 715-394-5712 to check for available dates and times. We require a minimum of 10 paid guests and a 50% deposit at least two weeks prior to the date of your event. Payment of the full balance must be made on the day of the event. No refunds will be given; however, we can work with you to find an alternative date. Public tours may be conducted during your event if it is scheduled during regular museum hours and if appropriate.

We require a down payment of one-half the fee to reserve your date. In the event of a cancellation, there is a $50 non-refundable administrative fee.
