Parking is easy for this place just off Rte 9H. Tours are given in the summer Memorial day weekend thru Labor Day weekend. If you want a tour of the house just ask the Ranger at the visitor center. Walking tours on the grounds outside the houes are done at a self guided with plackards to tell the history.
On a side note I grew up only about a mile from here and it is amazing what the park service has done with the house. The wall paper inside the house is amazingly restored. The first time i went inside they were still trying to get down to the layer that was on the wall durring his time in the house. Unfortunatly they do not allow pictures taken inside the house.
