Willa Cather Foundation Tours
The National Willa Cather Center and many of our historic sites are open for guided tours. While our longer tour options require advanced booking, we also offer daily tours of the Willa Cather Childhood Home at the top of the hour from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on a walk-in basis, Tuesday-Friday.
To make tour reservations, please contact education coordinator Rachel Olsen at rolsen@willacather.org.
