Furnished in period antiques, you will learn the fascinating history of the Woodruff and Fontaine families who resided in the mansion.

Guided tours of the mansion are scheduled every hour on the hour during the regular museum hours of 12PM until 4PM, Wednesday through Sunday. Self-guided tours are also available throughout the day at the same admission rate. The last guided tour is 3:00pm and the last museum admission is 3:30PM.

Tours can be modified for special interests and age levels. Tours may not be appropriate for children under age 5. Since all three floors are visited on the tour, it should be noted that there is no elevator available. The first floor of the building is handicapped accessible, and handicapped bathroom facilities are available in the Carriage House.

Free museum parking is located at the corner of Washington Avenue and Orleans Street. The gate closes at 4pm daily.

"Beautiful home full of period pieces. The staff is very knowledgeable about the history of the families and the history of Memphis. You will enjoy the beauty of the home while learning so much about that era of Memphis’s growth and development."
