Coral Gables Merrick House tours reopening in August

The Coral Gables Historic Merrick House Museum offers guided tours most weekends, on Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m., 2 p.m., and 3 p.m.

The home, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, will take you back to the Roaring Twenties. You’ll get to view 14 rooms and over an acre of land, along with an expansive wraparound porch all great for photographs.

Tours are cash only and cost $5 for adults, $3 seniors and military, $3 for students over 12, $1 for students under 12, free for children under six. If you’re interested in a group tour you must give at least two weeks notice by emailing cworm@coralgables.com.

Free parking lot is located behind the house.
