A monumental dome, crypt and remarkable acoustics / HAMILTON

Hamilton Mausoleum guided tour

Join a guided visit inside Hamilton’s distinctive mausoleum to see its architecture and learn why this unusual monument survives. The dome, crypt and acoustics make it a different experience from viewing the exterior on a walk. Entry is through an arranged tour, with payment handled by Low Parks Museum.
