The Martin House is full of remarkable spaces and design elements. This specialty tour is your chance to step inside and capture more than just memories.
During this one-hour experience, a docent will lead the small group on a very brief tour of the 1st floor of the Martin House. If you have not visited the Martin House previously, please note that the information delivered during this experience will be very condensed. Martin House volunteers will be on hand to answer questions about the house and its collection, but the goal is to provide ample time for every guest to capture photos of the 1st floor.
The pergola and conservatory are also spaces available for photography, but the participants are welcome to stay inside the Martin House for the full hour since photos are not allowed on the interior of the house during any other tour offering.
At the tour’s conclusion, participants are also welcome to wander the exterior of the estate to continue taking photographs.
All photos are for personal use only. Large camera bags, tripods, and flash are not permitted.
For guests who use a wheelchair: We are unable to accommodate a wheelchair on the pergola.
