Virtual Tour
 

The Berea College Public Relations Department sponsors walking Historical and Craft Tours free of charge to all visitors. The student-led Historical Tour generally follows the route outlined in red on the campus map below. The Craft Tour features students making items in the broomcraft, weaving, woodcraft, and wrought iron departments. Both tours begin at the Visitors Center located on Center and Short Streets, one-half block north of the Boone Tavern Hotel and Dining Room. Each tour lasts approximately 50 minutes. Visitors are encouraged to ask questions throughout the tour.

Special requests to vary the tour should be made in advance. Groups of 20 or more are asked to make reservations in advance as well. Visitors should note since all tour guides are students, class schedules may not permit absolute flexibility.
