Join us for Friday Guided Tours at The Banker’s House, offered every Friday beginning in February 2026. Tours are available between 2–5 p.m. and run on a rolling basis, allowing guests to arrive at a time that works best for them.
Each tour offers an engaging look at the home’s rich past, distinctive Second Empire–style architecture, and the stories of the people who lived and worked here. Whether you are visiting for the first time or returning to discover new details, each tour provides a deeper appreciation of this beloved local landmark.
Tours move through the main house first, and once completed, guests continue on to explore the carriage house and grounds, rounding out the full experience of the property.
Friday tours are $10 per person, with payment accepted at the door. No reservations are required. If you are unable to attend a Friday tour, private group tours for six or more people may be arranged by contacting May Reed, Executive Director of The Banker’s House, at (980) 404-0096.
