We take tremendous pride in the fact that Orchard House derives its visitation from all 50 states and more than 30 countries!  Those who wish to guarantee tickets for a specific day and time are urged to make Timed-Entry reservations below, but we also accommodate as many "walk-ins" as possible.  We look forward to seeing you soon!

Begin your Timed-Entry reservation by finding an available date and time using the calendar icon below.  Scroll through applicable admission categories, select your tickets, and provide contact and payment information.  (Please note:  Each member of your party must have a ticket reserved — even babies and other free/discounted admissions.) Your transaction will be completed via an encrypted payment process, and a receipt will be emailed to you.  Please bring it with you (on your smart phone or as a print-out), along with any documentation needed for a discount you may have claimed.  All tickets must be validated at our Front Desk prior to your entry time. 

COVID-19 PROTOCOLS:  In addition to limiting tour capacities, installing air purifiers for our geothermal climate control system, and maintaining cleanliness, Orchard House is a "mask-friendly" site, but face masks are optional for entry.  Thank you for your cooperation.  We look forward to seeing you!

Ready for the Holidays?

After all, Christmas won't be Christmas without . . . our beloved, family-favorite Living History Holiday Program, "An Old-Fashioned Christmas at Orchard House," held on Saturdays, December 9th & 16th and Sundays, December 10th & 17th!  Reservations are strongly urged for this very popular event as "walk-in" availability may not be possible.

For details and to reserve tickets for this heartwarming holiday experience, please visit our Holiday Program ticketing site

Important note:  During the Holiday Program weekends only, our regular guided tour format will not be offered and information typically relayed during our tours will not be conveyed.  Orchard House will be festively decorated for the holidays throughout December, so whether you tour or attend the Holiday Program, you will still enjoy our charming décor!  Regular guided tours in December can be reserved using the Timed-Entry Admission form below (December 9th, 10th, 16th, & 17th, and December dates we are closed are greyed out for Timed-Entry).
