Tours

Tour the North Star House

OPEN HOUSES – OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Tuesday & Thursday mornings – 10am – 12 pm
There will occasionally be a day that it is not open due to other things happening at the house.

History Docents will be at the house to provide informal tours or answer questions about the North Star House, Julia Morgan, Arthur D. and Mary Hallock Foote, and more.  

A self-guided Landscape Tour.
In addition to being a brilliant mining engineer and superintendent of the North Star Mine, Arthur D. Foote was a horticulturalist. He designed an Edwardian landscape surrounding the House. You can see some of his original plantings which are still on the property. Our Heritage Garden honors his design and plant selections.

 

PRIVATE GROUP TOURS

Please contact our office to arrange a Private Group Tour.   530-477-7126.  

The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes, with time for some Q&A afterwards.

You will learn about the history of the house, important people associated with the house, and what we are doing to restore the house and grounds.
