Guided tours of the historic buildings, reconstructed slave dwellings and plantation hospital, gardens, and archaeological remains offer visitors a comprehensive social history of all former plantation residents: the enslaved community, plantation owners, and hired white and Black employees. Somerset Place is open Tuesday - Saturday. Guided tours are offered upon request and last approximately 1.5 hours. Due to the length of the tour, the last one departs no later than 3:30 p.m. Admission is free. Guided tour fees are: $2.00 for adults, $1.00 for seniors (65 and older), and $1.00 for children (ages 5-12). Children under 5 are free.
