Guided house tours are anticipated to resume in late May or early June 2027.

Visitors can continue exploring the park through the free NPS App, featuring the self-guided Wayside Loop – Martin Van Buren and Dogs of the NPS audio tours.

The Junior Ranger program is also available year-round! Download the Junior Ranger activity booklet from the park website and mail your completed booklet to the park to earn an official Junior Ranger badge.

What to Do -- When to Visit

At Martin Van Buren NHS, our visitor season runs from late May to the end of October. Dates may vary and tours are subject to change so please confirm before visiting.

Ranger Guided House tours are the only way to enter inside the historic house and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

A visit to President Van Buren's home is a must, but all sorts of other opportunities are available. Plan on spending at least an hour and a half on site.
Events, trails to walk, and activities such as historical and science programs are offered throughout the visitor season, so check out the Calendar for more information.
