Graycliff has also announced an expanded slate of tours for the 2008 season. A reduced schedule began Monday, April 7 (my birthday. Coincidence?), and a full, seven day schedule begins Saturday, May 24 and runs through September 1, and a reduced schedule again from September 2 through November 30. Yuletide tours begin the day after Christmas.
In addition to the Standard Tour, Graycliff offers In Depth and Master Architectural (3 hours, led by experts) tours, as well as twilight tours and photography tours (timed to catch morning light). The standard tour is offered seven days a week during the summer, but the other tours are only offered certain days. Check the tours section of the Graycliff website for days and times.
Note that, while the Darwin Martin complex in Buffalo has gotten a lot of press coverage for its dramatic restoration, Graycliff has also undergone a sweeping restoration and 2008 marks the tenth year and the planned completion of Phase III of work. Photo galleries of selected aspects of the restoration (including “before” pictures) are available on the website.
