Schedule a Tour and Self-Guided Tours
Schedule a Tour
Guided group tours can be scheduled for schools, clubs, or other organizations. Tours may be scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays.
A general history, garden or school tour is approximately one to one and a half hours and involves a leisurely walking pace.
There are three garden areas available for tours - California Native Plant Demonstration Garden, Hamilton Square Perennial Garden and Historic Rose Garden.
Visitors can do any combination of garden/history tour that they'd like, assuming we can find tour guides. Some tours may include both a garden and a history tour with a lunch break in between.
Suggested Donations for Each Tour:
Private Tours (garden or history) up to 5 people = $25.00
Private Tours (garden or history) up to 10 people = $50.00
**each additional person = $5.00
​
School Tours - call for specific information
Schools tours will concentrate on topics matched to the California State Curriculum Standards as they relate to the residents in the cemetery and early Sacramento. There is a minimum donation of $25.00 per private tour.
