Kennedy House Grounds Tours Return

As renovations continue on the historic Kennedy House, the beautiful grounds surrounding the house are now open for tours.

As of August 2024, Red River North Tourism is offering 30-40 minute tours of the Kennedy House Grounds for free! Explore and learn about the history of Captain Kennedy and the Red River North area. While the house itself remains closed due to renovations, the grounds themselves are exquisite and offer a picturesque view of the historic building. We look forward to the day when we can all explore the house inside and out!
