Visit the Historic Buildings
Guided tours of Duke Homestead are offered at 15-minutes past each hour, with the first tour at 10:15 a.m. and the last tour starting at 3:15 p.m. Tour guides lead visitors to four historic structures: a tobacco curing barn, tobacco pack house, Washington Duke's Third Tobacco Factory (1869), and his 1852 Homestead. The outside walking tour is 45-minutes long and is not climate controlled, so it is recommended that visitors dress for the weather. The distance from the Visitor Center to the Homestead is approximately 300 yards, and a wheel chair or golf cart is available upon request. If you are planning to bring a group of 10 or more people for the tour, please call in advance to reserve a special tour time.
