OPERATING HOURS
The Thomas Stone National Historic Site Visitor Center (and the park) is typically open on weekends from 10 AM to 4 PM starting in mid-April and continuing until the week before Christmas. It is closed at all other times. The exact opening and closing dates change each year, so be sure to visit the National Park Service’s official Operating Hours and Seasons web page for the latest schedule.
Staff is often limited to one park Ranger, and if so, the Visitor Center is closed while the Ranger conducts a tour of Habre de Venture (Thomas Stone’s house). A sign will be posted on the door. Visitors to the park can wait for the building to reopen or head down to the house and catch what remains of the tour.
