Dear Old House: The Gilded Age of Spring Hill

July 27, 2024

Overview

Spring Hill Historic Home will reflect the Gilded Age through a look at the lives of Arvine Chaffee Wales, his wife Eliza, and their eldest child, Helen Wales Skinner. Step back in time to the charming splendor of Spring Hill Farm which will be set to resemble this Gilded Age-period of our history. Special first-person interpretive tours will feature artifacts, documents, and garments displayed throughout the home. Three special events will allow guests to expand their knowledge and enjoyment of Gilded Age hospitality with a Parlor Concert, a Food History Class, and a Suffragette Tea.

Gilded house tours are $10 for adults; $5 for students; and Free for children under 6.

Our Summer Saturday walk-in tour season returns each June through Labor Day Weekend.

Tours begin on the hour at 1pm, 2pm & 3pm. If you arrive more than 15 minutes after a tour leaves, you may be asked to join the next tour.

Reservations are not necessary on these weekends between 1-3pm, but do help us know how many visitors to anticipate. Tours are capped at 15 people per time slot, so if you would like to ensure that you will make it for a tour at your preferred time, please reserve tickets below ahead of your visit.
