The tour was incredibly informative and the council house was so amazing to see! They also talked about how a lot of documents are available under the care of Bethune-Cookman University to research to learn more about Mary McLeod Bethune- you just have to go to Florida and make an appointment to read them! Tours run often, and you just need to ring the call bell during open hours and someone will let you in!

awesome piece of history. to be honest I didn't know much about Mary McLeod before visiting but the ranger giving the tour made sure to change that. he was so informative and passionate about this building. make sure to check the hours before you go if you're looking to get a tour of the house

I’m so happy this place opened back up! They have tours every 30 minutes besides from the times 12:00-1:00, and it is owned my the National Parks Service so you get stamps here! They actually have four available stamps (I posted a photo. The red ones are the ones you get here.)

The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, but the house isn’t super big, so keep that in mind. You’ll only be here for 30 minutes.

Our park ranger did a fantastic job, and I would come back with friends. Mary McLeod Bethune was a fantastic woman, and I’m so happy I was able yo learn about her here.

Note: You do NOT need tickets here. You just walk in and ring the doorbell. It is also completely free. :)

After many years of passing this historic site I finally went in as a part of a tour honoring the 144th anniversary of Ms. McLeod's birth put on by the NPS. When you think of all the amazing and influential people who once stood in the space you stand....wow. If you are into NPS Passports they do have a stamp!
