Back by popular demand, this specialty tour explores the areas of 55 Mount Vernon Street that were not meant for visitors. Explore the historical and current staff areas as you learn: What did it take to make the house run in the Victorian era? How do staff manage its preservation today? Peek into rooms and spaces not usually on view, take the back stairs, and explore over 200 years of this old house’s secrets.

This tour lasts approximately one hour and visitors will take three flights of stairs.
