In-Person

The Crane House and Historic YWCA is a window on to the history of our nation from its early years as an independent country to a country embroiled in the civil rights struggle. On this special tour, hear the stories of the women who lived, worked, and played in the house. From the Crane wives, to the enslaved and paid workers of the house, to the women and girls of the African American YWCA, the Crane House & Historic YWCA has seen how a woman's role in the house and in society has changed over 200 years.

Tours begin at 12:00 pm, 1:00 pm, and 2:00 pm at the little red Nathaniel Crane House & Visitor Center located at the back of the parking lot. No reservations required.

Admission is $12/adult; $10/student/senior with ID; $8/child; under 2 free. MHC members are free!
