Tours of the Blosser House and Barn are scheduled during a one-week period each month from August through December 2024. Regular tours are limited to 24 guests. Event tours are limited to 40 guests.

We have Special Events planned each month through the end of 2024. See below for descriptions and tickets.
During our scheduled Blosser House & Barn Tours (see below for dates), your guides will lead you through the property on a 1.5-hour tour, talking about the history of the property, its preservation and design.
