Rose Show & Festival Tour Hours

Explore the Thomasville History Center and its historic outbuildings!  

Self-Guided tours are available between 10 am and 4 pm. This includes our 10-minute introductory video and a self-guided tour of the interior exhibit galleries and the outbuildings.

No advanced reservations are required.  

Please note that the History Center is undergoing some renovations in the Flowers-Roberts House and some areas may not be up to our usual standards of storytelling. We’ll do our best to make your experience a positive one!

Experience one of Thomasville’s treasures on a guided tour! Tours are available at the top of the hour on Fridays at 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm, and on Saturdays at 10am, 11am, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm. 

No advanced reservations are required but we expect to have higher than normal tour volumes. Please make plans to arrive at least 5 minutes before the top of the hour. When you arrive, ring the historic doorbell on the front porch. A guide will be with you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!
