Due to the current COVID-19 numbers and wanting to ensure the safety of our visitors and staff, Shirley Plantation Foundation will stop offering Guided House Tours and close the Gift Shop to the public beginning December 30th, 2020 in the hopes that this will help reduce the number of COVID-19 cases.

Shirley’s grounds, gardens, and outbuildings will continue to be open to the public for self-guided touring Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM, with the exit gate closing at 5:00 PM. Touch-less methods for purchasing grounds admission are available online at www.shirleyplantation.com or upon arrival at the Welcome Sign located in the parking lot. Self-guided grounds only admission includes exhibits inside the Ice House and the Storehouse, the slavery exhibit located in the Kitchen Building, our Nature Walk Field Guide and Grounds Map, and the walking audio tour. 

If you would like to support Shirley Plantation Foundation through this difficult time, donations are always accepted and greatly appreciated. Donations help the foundation further the mission to preserve, protect, and pass on Shirley’s history of the indigenous, the settlers, the indentured, and the enslaved for future generations. Donations can be made at https://shirley-plantation-foundation.square.site and are tax-deductible.
