About SOS Tours


Save Our Seminary conducts guided tours of the National Park Seminary on the fourth Saturday of the month, from March through November. The Seminary's historic buildings, statues, and landscape features are presented in their historical and social context, with stories and anecdotes from the Seminary's colorful history. As the renovation of the Seminary proceeds, the ballroom and other unique interior spaces will be added to the tour.

The tours are conducted by experienced guides who are members of Save Our Seminary and veterans of the long struggle to save the seminary, ensure its sympathetic reuse, and share its history and stories.

The tours are free, but a $5 donation per person is requested and appreciated to support our mission.

Private group tours may also be arranged. A donation of $5 a person is requested with a minimum donation of $100 for groups under twenty. Contact us at info@saveourseminary.org for more information or to arrange a private tour.

After you have toured the Seminary, please consider becoming a tour guide yourself. We will help you learn the material and teach you how to guide visitors through our fascinating campus, and we guarantee you an enthusiastic audience!
