How do the Signature and Traces tours differ?
Which tour should I take?
On the Signature Tour, you will see the whole mansion, learn of Clay’s life, career, and family.
On the Traces Tour, you will be outside then in a few rooms of the mansion but with a focus on slavery.
Many people find that the two tours complement one another. There is a small amount of shared content.
