Experience Pullman Home Tour

Our tours start at the largest single family home in Pullman, the home of the former General Manager. This 4,500 square foot, three story home has been recently renovated to serve as the Welcome Center for the tour program and includes exhibits, visitor orientation and also home of the Pullman Club Coffee Shop.

Our expert guides will escort visitors to see the interior of selected houses, recreated to evoke a time when migrant and immigrant families came to Pullman to live and work, all contributing to shape Pullman and the America we know today.

The Pullman House Project is sponsored by the Bielenberg Historic Pullman House Foundation, a 501 C3 not for profit organization. The Foundation is an interpretive programmatic partner organization to the National Park Service Pullman National Historical Park.

Info: On our Main Tour, guides will lead you on a short walk past some of the key points of Pullman, passing Arcade Park, the Hotel Florence, Greenstone Church and Market Hall, and touring the interiors of two of our homes: the Dunbar House, an executive home styled to the period of 1900, when Thomas Dunbar lived there with his family while he was the Superintendent of the Pullman Car Works, across the street; and the Lisciotto House, a workers cottage that captures the daily life and cultural heritage of a 1960s Italian working-class family in Pullman.

Info: If you choose to add the Extended Tour option to the Main Tour, after you tour the Dunbar Home, your guide will lead you on a walk along the length of Pullman to our Honeymoon Row home. This unit is one of a larger 5-unit building, where we depict the 3-room, cold-water apartment of a the family of a worker as well as a working shoe repair shop that was built in the back.
