Policies

Kelly Place is a unique property!

We are sure you will agree when you visit. Our goal is to insure your safety and the preservation of our historic heritage.

We have a seemingly large set of policies to cover all aspects of the property in its various uses.  Not all of these policies will pertain to you and your family.  We are listing them all in one place for all visitors.

Please read the ones which pertain to your visit.
