All Men Are Created Equal Tour

This 90-minute guided experience explores America's founding principles and how the nation became divided over the question of slavery. Starting from the country's origins, you'll trace the decades-long tension surrounding the meaning of equality and witness how that struggle ultimately led to the Civil War. The tour combines a walk through the historic house and grounds to deepen your understanding of this pivotal period in American history. This tour offering is unique to Tennessee and is designed for families and visitors interested in learning about the complex social forces that shaped the nation. Tickets are $29 per person, and sessions run at 9 a.m. on Mondays and Fridays. Plan to arrive 15 minutes early. Ticket proceeds support the creation of a new museum exhibit with the same theme opening in 2026. You can purchase tickets online ahead of time or contact the site directly.
