House and garden tickets are available for purchase in the Visitor Center gift shop.

House and garden admission includes access to the grounds, home, and historic gardens. Visitors are shown a brief orientation film, followed by a guided tour of the Georgian Italian villa and self-guided tour of the pre-Civil War gardens. Guided garden tours are available if requested in advance.

In order to provide the best quality experience, we recommend visitors allow at least 2 hours to tour the estate. To join the last tour of the home, you will need to arrive no later than 2 hours before closing. Only garden tickets will be sold after this time.

Earle’s Great Hunt

Be sure to ask about complimentary home and garden scavenger hunts for children! Young guests are invited to enjoy a special tour of the estate. With the help of Hills & Dales Estate mascot, Earle the Fox Squirrel, children will enjoy a fun-filled journey while they learn about the plants, animals and history that make the estate so special. At no charge, children receive the Hills & Dales Activity Book, a booklet designed for children ages Kindergarten through sixth grade. Those who successfully complete “Earle’s Great Hunt” on page nine of the activity book, or the home or garden scavenger hunt, will receive a special prize at the Visitor Center.

Behind the Scenes Tour

Specially created for our members and return visitors! Visitors will learn about Mr. Callaway’s detailed involvement in the construction, the 2010 renovation of the home and experience a guided tour of behind the scenes places not featured in a regular house tour. This tour is recommended for those who have toured the home before as it does not include information provided during a full house tour.

This unique tour will be available Tuesdays through Fridays during operating hours and requires a reservation, which can be made by calling (706) 882-3242 or emailing info@hillsanddales.org. Specialty tour prices apply.

Art Tour

The Callaway family home contains many beautiful works of art. Our Art Tour focuses specifically on the history of the pieces in our collection and their artists, including Marcel Dreyfus, Ernest Lawson, Lamar Dodd and many more.

This unique tour is available Tuesdays through Fridays during operating hours and requires a reservation, which can be made by calling (706) 882-3242 or emailing info@hillsanddales.org. Specialty tour prices apply.

A special discounted rate is available for pre-booked groups with 12 or more people. All house tours are guided and groups larger than 15 people will be split into smaller groups. Garden tours are self-guided unless a guided tour is requested at the time of booking.
