Group Tours of the Royall House and Slave Quarters

General Information

Group defined: A Group is defined as 10 or more people.

We offer Group Tours as well as Group Visits to our Archaeological Exhibit. All Group Tours include the Archaeological Exhibit. Group Tours and Group Visits are offered during on weekends and weekdays. All Tours are guided by our expert Guides; the Exhibit is self-guided, but staff is available to answer your questions.

In order to ensure a quality Group Tour, we limit the size of each individual group to around 15. Due to the size of our historic buildings and rooms, we can do 2 simultaneous tours per hour, therefore accommodating about 30 people per hour. If your group is 30 people or larger, you will need to allow at least a 2 hour visit to the Royall House and Slave Quarters.

Due to the size of the room, Group Visits to the Archaeological Exhibit are generally limited to a maximum size of 30 people. For Group Tours larger than 30 people, visitors are asked to stagger their time in the Exhibit.

Please note our discount and reservation policies below.
