Everyone is welcome at the Visitor Center, however entry into the Watkins Home will require advance reservations. Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start of your tour. Due to the nature of the scheduling and the number of people allowed in the house, it is not possible to join a tour already in progress. Please also note that the tours involve walking approximately 300 yards from the visitor center to the historic home and that the home itself has a number of stairways.
