Tours

Tour the North Star House

May 8, 2020: IMPORTANT NOTE:
The North Star House is currently closed due to Covid-19 regulations.
We look forward to welcoming you when we re-open.

OPEN HOUSES – OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

We will post our schedule of Open Houses for 2021 here when we are able to safely and legally open 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.

New in 2021: 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.

Construction Days: Tuesday & Thursday mornings – 10am – 12 pm

Stop by while the construction volunteers are working on the House. Take a look at the House and what we’re doing to restore it. Volunteer workers can answer questions.
No formal tours on construction days.


PRIVATE GROUP TOURS

Private tours will be available when the House re-opens again after Covid shut-down.

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. History Docents will show you the Heritage Garden and some of the grounds (weather permitting), then take you through the main floor of the House. 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.

Fee: $10/person, Minimum $75/group
[ 1 – 7 people in group: $75. More than 7 people in group: $10/person ]
