Self-Guided Tours Will Return
The Barker Mansion is currently closed to self-guided tours while we renovate. Please contact us for event hosting or functions.
Large Groups and Field Trips
The Barker Mansion is great for group tours and field trips as well. Reservations are requested for groups of 10 or larger. To schedule a group tour, contact us at (219) 873-1520.
Accessibility
The Barker Mansion has an accessibility ramp in the rear of the building so guests can access the first floor and first floor bathroom. The lower level is accessible via two chair lifts. We ask that those who require the ramp call ahead so that staff can meet guests at the side entrance on 7th Street: (219) 873-1520. Please contact the Mansion with any questions. We are happy to help!
