Description

High bidder wins 2 Mansion Tour passes to tour the "beautiful but bizarre" Winchester Mystery House, gardens and historical museums. 


Tour through 110 of the 160 rooms and look for the bizarre phenomena that gave the mansion its name; a window built into the floor, staircases leading to nowhere, a chimney that rises four floors to stop just 1.5 feet from the ceiling, doors that open onto blank walls, and upside down posts! No one has been able to explain the mysteries that exist within the Winchester Mansion, or why Sarah Winchester kept the carpenters' hammers pounding 24 hours a day for 38 years. It is believed that after the untimely deaths of her baby daughter and husband, son of the Winchester Rifle manufacturer, Mrs. Winchester was convinced by a medium that continuous building would appease the evil spirits of those killed by the famous "Gun that Won the West" and help her attain eternal life. Certainly her $20,000,000 inheritance was sufficient to support her obsession until her death at 82!


Tour lasts approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes. Children under 5 are free with a paying adult.

Special Instructions

Tours are given every day except Christmas Day. Passes expire April 21, 2017.
