The Visitors Center at College Square, managed by the Public Relations department, is the starting point for a fifty-minute walking tour that provides an historical overview of the College. Covering three-quarters of a mile, this student-led tour visits notable structures including the Frost Building (originally a Carnegie Library), Phelps Stokes Chapel (built by students in 1904–1906), and the Draper Classroom Building (rededicated in 2002 following a 14-month, $11 million, eco-friendly renovation). In addition, we offer tours of the Student Crafts program including broomcraft, weaving, woodcraft, and wrought iron production areas where students produce handmade items sold in the Boone Tavern Hotel Gift Shop and the Log House Craft Gallery.

The Visitors Center at College Square features a theatre for watching historical videos of the College, and is located within a minute’s walk to Boone Tavern Hotel and the shops and galleries on College Square.
