Home tours:

Home tours are an hour guided tour, and they take place on the hour. Monday - Saturday, the first tour of the home is at 10 a.m., and the last tour is at 4 p.m. On Sunday, the first tour of the home is at 1 p.m., and the last tour is at 4 p.m. IMPORTANT NOTE:  If you buy the 4 p.m. site pass, you will need to arrive early in order to tour the museum. The entire facility closes at 5 p.m., so if you arrive just for your 4 p.m. tour, you will not be able to tour the museum afterward.
