TOUR GUIDE LED MANSION TOURS RETURN TO WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE BEGINNING SATURDAY, JUNE 19TH6/8/2021
SAN JOSE, CA (June 8, 2021)—The Winchester Mystery House announced today the return of the Guided Mansion Tour on Saturday, June 19th. The Guided Mansion Tour immerses guests in Sarah Winchester’s story of heartbreak, tenacity and invention and explores the legends and lore of her home. The tour guide led experience allows guests to access areas of the mansion that have been closed since March 2020, including the 3rd and 4th floors which are purportedly the most paranormally active areas of the bizarre mansion. The revamped tour will also feature newly discovered details about the mysterious mansion. Tickets will be available today at winchestermysteryhouse.com/buy-tickets and include access to the Sarah Winchester Victorian Garden Tour. The iconic Bay Area attraction had pivoted to offer outdoor garden tours and self-guided tours with stationed hosts throughout the routes during the pandemic. The return of the traditional tour guide led Mansion Tour is one that staff, and guests have been looking forward to. Winchester Mystery House General Manager, Walter Magnuson said, “Since the very first tour of the Winchester Mystery House in June of 1923 we’ve guided over 13 million guests through our halls. While the self-guided tours have been well received, we have all missed the passion and expertise of our tour guides. Our guides spend weeks reviewing historical artifacts from our archives and preparing for guest questions. There is no better way to experience the house than being guided by these engaging storytellers - the Winchester Mystery House Tour Guides.” The Guided Mansion Tour has been re-designed to prioritize the safety of guests and staff. Meeting state and county guidelines, tour groups are no longer restricted to members of the same household, though tour capacity has been reduced to make for a more comfortable experience for guests.
