The Visitor Center is open for tours on most weekends throughout the summer from 12-4. This is the best time for individuals to visit RittenhouseTown.

The admission fee is $5 for adults and $3 for children and senior citizens. All current members of Historic RittenhouseTown are admitted for free. We accept cash or check. No credit cards please.

Winter Hours (October-May):

Based on availability, fall and winter tours can be arranged by advance appointment on weekdays only and must be booked ahead of time. Due to our busy education program schedule, this option is not always available. RittenhouseTown is located in Fairmount Park, which is open to the public. Though a guide may not be able to admit you to any of the houses, you are welcome to walk the property on your own during regular park hours.

Group Tours (for groups of 10 or more):

Group tours are available Monday-Friday and are administered through the education program. If you are interested in scheduling a mid-week group tour, please contact Ariel Wilson, Director of Education at (215)438-5711 or awilson@rittenhousetown.org.
