Hegeler Carus Mansion General and Expanded Tours Return
LASALLE, IL-General and Expanded Tours will return on April 24th! Whether you have been on a tour, or it will be your first tour of the Mansion, you will have an immersive experience with the newly restored floors on the Main Level, recently added exhibit spaces, as well as displays of new artifacts and accompanying historical photographs.
On the General Tour, up to ten guests are guided through the Main and part of the Ground Floors of the Mansion. You’ll see rooms that have been restored as well as rooms in their original state. In addition, you’ll also hear stories about the family that lived in the home and the legacy they left. This tour lasts about an hour, and the cost is $18 per adult, $15 per senior, and $15 per student. Veterans and Active-Duty Military are free of charge. Children under 5 may accompany an adult free of charge.
Are you interested in exploring more of the Mansion? The Expanded Tour is right for you. Our most popular tour, this is a guided adventure beginning in the Reception Room, covering areas of the home both public and private, all the way to the 7th floor Cupola, immersed among the Mansion’s impressive architecture and artifacts.
The Expanded Tour is approximately 2.5 hours in duration and is priced at $110 per person with a maximum capacity of ten (If your group is larger, please contact us directly to schedule a larger private tour).
“A tour of the Mansion is an experience in itself,” says Laura Walker, Executive Director. “With the restoration of the rare, beautifully restored parquet floors, in addition to the new artifacts and accompanying historical photographs of the family and the rooms, your tour will be full of discoveries and hidden treasures.”
