Tours - School

Every year students take the ferry to Constitution Island and visit the Warner House, the fully furnished 19th century home of Susan and Anna Warner. Students have the opportunity to view architecture, paintings, sculpture, artifacts and authentic 19th century fashions in the context of an historic home. Costumed docents guide them on a tour of the family homestead. Students learn about the cultural forces that led the Warners to become writers and how their writing affected their lives and their community. Also included are tours of the historic gardens and the Revolutionary War's Fort Constitution.

Constitution Island is open for school tours from late April until mid June and by special arrangement by calling or emailing the office at other times. Home school groups are always welcome. Susan and Anna Warner were home schooled and highly successful. Let us tell their story to your family or group.
