Winchester Mystery House

Markets: Family, student, faith-based

When Winchester Rifle heiress Sarah L. Winchester began construction on a mansion of such magnitude and fine detail in 1884, it required the skills of the best carpenters and craftsmen for 38 continuous years until her death in 1922. Despite the best workmanship and talent money could buy, this unique mansion contains so many unexplained oddities that it became known as the Winchester Mystery House. It’s a perfect attraction to add that must-see element to your itinerary, which also offers wholesale rates, a gift shop, clean restrooms, café and convenient motorcoach parking.
