Tours of the Willard House

Thank you to everyone who came on our special holiday tours on December 11! If you weren’t able to join us in person, you can experience how Frances Willard, her family, and her coworkers celebrated the festive season by watching our holiday video, which uses original text by Willard and historical photographs from our Archives to bring “Holiday Week at Rest Cottage” to life. Our regular tour schedule will resume in March 2023 for Women’s History Month.
