Open House Days
Next Open House Day: March 14th, 2026
Please Note: Because of our Winter Lecture Series, The Articles of Conversation, there will be no regularly scheduled Open Houses for January 2026 and February 2026. We apologize for any inconvenience.
We hope you’re able to join us at one of these lectures, or if not, reach out to us at info@batterseafound.org to schedule a time to see the villa!
For all other tours outside of events and Saturday open houses, tours for individuals or groups during the weekdays & other weekends may be scheduled by appointment. Please contact us at info@batterseafound.org, and we will be glad to arrange a personal tour.
