I had trouble locating the entrance. However once I did the tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative and shared a lot of interesting information about Fresno and Mr. Kearney.

The tour of the historic Kearney Mansion in Fresno is an absolute must see. The docents were incredible, the tour is very well organized and at 1 hour long, it is just long enough. The decorations, the many Christmas Trees inside nearly every room - we were blown away. Best $10 I ever spent.....highly recommend!!!

Arrived about 30 minutes before the 1:00 tour. After 1:00, I knocked on the door to learn they were closed for Christmas decorating; however, the website did not note they were closed. Neither did the phone mail message or any signage. Also left a message via phone mail and they did not return my call. A total waste of time.

Located out of Fresno surrounded by a lovely park. Park had disc golf. The home tour lasts about an hour. There was handicapped parking. Tour involves steps to the 2nd floor. First floor has lift to get there. The guides were knowledgeable and very solicitous. I was made welcome and helped whenever I needed to rest. Thanks so much!
