Public Tours

We are excited to offer a variety of public tours for folks to explore the incredible life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray inside the home where they were raised. We offer both guided and self-guided opportunities to members of our community! Please note that all tours must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.

Private Tours

If you have a group of 15 or more, a private tour might be for you! Through a private tour opportunity a member of our staff will guide you through the space, taking special care to highlight aspects of Murray’s life that might be of special interest to your group. Please note that a group of at least 15 people is required for a private tour. For groups of under 15, please book a public tour option.

FAQ’s

The dates listed for public tours don’t work for me. What are my options?

Our small but mighty team works hard to provide a variety of tour opportunities each month, but we understand that they might not work for everyone’s schedule. If the available tours don’t work for your schedule, you’ve got a few options: First, you can always visit the outside of Pauli Murray’s childhood home free of charge and without a reservation. The outdoor exhibits are accessible year-round during daylight hours. Second, we’d recommend keeping an eye on our tour offerings! We are always adding new date options, so keep an eye out for something that works for you.

What are your hours? Do you have ‘drop in’ times?

While we are working hard to expand our public programs, we do not yet have standard drop in hours. The Pauli Murray Center is open during pre-scheduled events and public tours only. If you’d like to help us work towards hosting standard ‘drop in’ hours, consider volunteering with us!

Why do I need 15 people for a private tour?

As a nonprofit with a small staff, we do our best to offer opportunities for our community to access this amazing space. At the same time, it’s important to ensure that we are respecting our staff as important resources. If you’ve got a group of fewer than 15 folks hoping to visit, please book a public tour.
