What to bring – and – Not to Bring on Your Visit
The Norlands is a large site. Our historic buildings are, as they were, unheated and uncooled. Most of your tour will be outside crossing uneven ground. Therefore, we recommend guests wear appropriate outdoor clothing for the weather during your visit and good walking shoes to comfortably enjoy your time with us.
Enjoy the scenery. Feel free to bring a picnic lunch – we’ll even provide a quilt to spread on the lawn if you ask in the Admissions office. Picnic tables are also available if you prefer. Norlands also offers cold drinks and light snacks as well.
There are several beautiful “selfie spots” at Norlands. We do allow photography outside. However, to preserve historic artifacts and interiors, please no inside photography.
We love our animals. However, we do not allow pets or therapy animals on our main site. Please understand, we are a working farm, with historic buildings, and must ask that you leave your four-legged friends (even the best-behaved ones) at home. Pets CANNOT be left in your vehicle in the parking lot regardless of the weather.
Norlands DOES ALLOW documented service animals, as protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Under the ADA, a service animal is defined as “a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability.” Service animals must be on a leash and never left unattended.
Dogs are allowed on our trails as long as they are on a leash and under your control at all times. Please clean up after your dogs on the trail and leave no trace.
Tours by Appointment
The Norlands is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10am until 4pm. If our tour times do not work for you, please request a tour by appointment.
If you are visiting from “far away”, you are welcome to request a tour for Sunday or Monday. Though our staff is off, a local docent may be able to meet you. We know how important seeing the Norlands is for many people, especially descendants of the Washburns and other Livermore residents as well as historians.

We welcome groups of all kinds – Scouts, Church Groups, Art Clubs, Family Reunions, Birthday Parties and large groups of friends looking for a fun way to spend the day. Fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch to plan something memorable. Our group tours include several meal options.
