Kearney Mansion Museum & Gallery Tour

Overview

This tour is unique because the Kearney Mansion is about 70 percent original from when it was first commissioned in 1903 by Martin Theodore Kearney. This tour is not just about Kearney, but it highlights the structure of the mansion, the stories of the families that worked and lived on the Fruit Vale Estate (Kearney Park) and you can enjoy the scenic view of the grounds. The mansion and gallery is located inside of Kearney Park which is filled with palm trees. The park features a lovely olive grove path, disc golf course, and the historic Tea House, Ice House, Carriage House and Bell Tower that is a part of the mansion.

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.

The tour of the Kearney Mansion was very interesting and family friendly. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot about not only Mr. Kearney’s life but how he impacted others and the early years of the city of Fresno. Thank you!
