All Men Are Created Equal Tour

Join a 90-minute guided experience that traces American history from the nation's founding through the Civil War era. This tour explores how the concept of equality shaped—and fractured—our country, focusing on the decades-long conflict over slavery that ultimately tore the nation apart. You'll tour the historic house and grounds of Rippa Villa while learning how these larger national struggles played out in real places and affected real lives. This unique tour is available only at Rippa Villa and offers a thoughtful way for families to engage with this pivotal period in American history. Tickets are $29 per person. The tour runs at 9am on Mondays and Fridays, and advance arrival of 15 minutes is requested. All proceeds support the development of a new exhibit and museum opening in 2026 with the same theme. You can purchase tickets online in advance.
