Reservations are required for tours. To ensure the safety of guests, docents, and the house and its contents, the maximum capacity for each tour is 12 people, including children. Walk-ins may be accepted on a first-come basis only if there are tickets remaining at the scheduled start of the tour. We regret we cannot delay the start of tours if you are late for your reserved timeslot. If you are late for your tour, we may give your tickets to waitlist guests and cannot guarantee you a place on the tour.

Tours can be booked for September 11th - June 27th. Call the Museum at 951-826-5273 for any questions about reservations.

All tours from October 02-November 08, 2026 will go "behind the black veil"!

Experience how Victorians mourned their dead. Tour a parlor prepared for a wake, complete with a coffin, post‑mortem photos, hair jewelry, and other mourning customs. Explore Victorian spiritualism, from seances to messages from beyond, and peek behind the veil at Heritage House… if you dare!
