VISITOR GUIDELINES

Ruthmere is Open!

Both Ruthmere Campus sites, Ruthmere Mansion and the Havilah Beardsley House, resumed normal hours of operation on Tuesday, June 16th, with additional operational safety precautions in compliance with the Indiana Back on Track Stage 4.  Throughout the remainder of the 2020 tour season, Ruthmere Campus REMAINS committed to operating at Stage 4 standards for the safety of our visitors and staff.

COVID-19 Visitor Guidelines for Ruthmere Campus: 

•     Group tour sizes will be reduced to a maximum of 5 visitors per group, plus the docent tour guide during normal hours of operation. This is 50% normal capacity.
