INDIVIDUAL TOURS OF BELLE GROVE PLANTATION
Located in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of
Virginia, Belle Grove offers its guests exciting tours of the region's
only authentic antebellum plantation.
Belle Grove’s expert volunteer docents and staff lead guided tours of
the 1797 Manor House daily from April through October, and on
selected weekend days in November, including the Friday after
Thanksgiving Day. Tours begin 15 minutes after each hour, departing
from 10:15 a.m. until 3:15 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and
from 1:15 to 4:15 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets for individuals for
the forty-five minute guided tour, which do not require reservations,
are available at the Admissions Desk under the Front Porch. It is
suggested that you plan to arrive on the hour to make your tour ticket
purchase.
Visitors may also
enjoy a complimentary, self-guided tour of the historic landscape and
garden, and can explore the Museum Shop late March through December,
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays, and on the weekend schedule
indicated above. Belle Grove’s beautiful Picnic Grove, complete with
panoramic mountain views, is also available for visitors’ use during

completely self-supporting and overseen by a non-profit, 501 (c) (3)
foundation, Belle Grove, Inc. Belle Grove's operating income is
generated through museum admissions, memberships, museum shop sales,
special events, grants and contributions. Although Belle Grove's
property is owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the
Trust does not annually budget funds to support Belle Grove. |
