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.

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!

I think, they should show us the farm's employees houses to show us how they were living just to compare on how he was living an how they were living.
