On the first Sunday of each month from 1-4PM, visit the mansion for free! Our self-guided tours encompass exploration of the Mansion and other buildings on the grounds (weather permitting) at your leisure, a booklet that guides you from room to room, floor to floor with information regarding history, architecture and restoration. There is also a 25-minute video that plays in our parlor for your viewing.

Average self-guided tours last 45 minutes but you may spend as little or much time as you wish during open tour hours. Walk-ins welcome.

About Saugatuck Dunes State Park:

A day use park along a secluded strip of Lake Michigan shoreline, Saugatuck Dunes State Park offers 1,000 acres of land with two and a half miles of shoreline. The Lake Michigan beach is a two-thirds mile hike from the picnic parking area. In addition, the park has fresh water coastal dunes that are over 200 feet tall. The park's terrain varies from steep slopes to rolling hills.
The park's major attractions are the long sandy beaches and the 300-acre natural area, which contains a coastal dune system, as well as three endangered plant species. Nature enthusiasts, birdwatchers and hikers are the predominant day users.

I hope you can make it.
