The Rosson House at Heritage Square is a charming venue for your wedding and all occasions. It has a historic value that everyone can appreciate. You can plan your dream wedding directly in front of the Rosson House for the making of an enchanting ceremony and memorable experience. Directly next door is the Lath House Pavilion, perfect for receptions, intimate and extravagant. There are also dressing rooms available for the bride/bridesmaids and groom/groomsmen. Heritage Square is centrally located, and there is a parking structure for your guest convenience. This is a wonderful venue with much character that will be remembered and dazzle your guest.

We toured as a group with their special Victorian Secrets tour -what fun! It was a small group, interactive & informative. We got to see all of the house plus the attic. After we had wine & munchies - lovely & much more than we expected. Rated R but so much fun to learn about! A must see.

Debbie Burmeister

Victorian home in the desert, who knew. Glad we went to see history come alive. Nicely maintained.

Wendy Jones

Disappointed that the attic was off limits.

Mark Holgate

Amazing house with a great tour guide. Watch for the homeschool days to get a smaller group tour and a good discount.

DJ M

Our tour guide was packed full of knowledge, super interesting!

Joe Messina

Really Interesting vintage house in Heritage Square. To visit, you must go on a tour (about 45 minutes) but well worth it. You can book in advance at their website or on site.

Karen Bradley

Last fully intact house from 19th century Phoenix AZ. Great history through decor furnishings period clothing and the guide.

Barbara Anderson

My husband and I took our granchildren on a Saturday adventure. We all thoroughly enjoyedthe tour along with the tour guide who gave us the ability to truly understand many interesting details about the people who lived there along with the unique details about the Robson House. We will definitely be back again.

My wife and I took our 2 kids down today, without prior reservations (oops). Renee was amazing. Such a joy, and really made our day. Today happened to be my wife's birthday. Thanks for Renee, for playing a key role in making this day a success.

Jonathan Campos

Very beautiful home with calm and nicely detailed tours of the history.

Daniel Adams

Great place Great tour guide he new the history

Dan R

Really neat and informative insight into Victorian era style. Flare's express tour was worth every penny!

Franklin Sosa

Beautiful restored piece of history of Pheonix, very good guided tour, only way available to view the interior of the home.

Vicky Swan

Knowledgeable tour guide very clean Furnishings were suited to period. Just wish they would have had a book or a pamphlet to show the inside of the house because they discourage taking pictures. Would have been willing to even buy such pamphlet

Renato Marques Chanquini

Excelent Guide , the place is a must view when in PHX

Julie Freestone

Narrator was very knowledgeable. Fun place to visit.

Liz Barajas

Went in yesterday wanting more information on the tour of the house but when we walked in to the office the lady was on the phone and not once did she pause her conversation to greet us or simply let us know she would be right with us. We waited for about 15 minutes and we decided to leave, very rude.

Raymond Wong Jr

A true gem in the city!

Steve B

An hour guided tour of this Victorian house is worth your while.

Shanna Warren

Interesting & guide was very knowledgeable.

linda willman

Our guide was very informative

Emily Halling

Beautiful history. The tour is fun and I’ve been here when they do Poe Fest and perform The Raven, it’s so fantastic.

Катерина Орлова

Очень интересное место. Дом полностью собранный через каталог и переправленный по железной дороге. Великолепная антикварная мебель и истории людей живших в этом доме.

Marijke Miller

We have had a few of the tour guides and they know much about the history of the house and families that lived there. Very good tour.

Mojdeh Karimzadeh

Had to pay to go on the tour of the houses, without any idea of what is going on inside the house.

Nancy Culp

Fun place to visit.

Lindy Jeffers

Enjoyed it immensely! I love Victorian homes!

Amanda Kipfer

Went okay year great tour guide and flo in the office is amazing!

alice campbell

Came here when I was hanging out downtown and I've been here a couple times before as a kid. I'm interested in Victorian lifestyle and homes. I marvel at the workmanship of the house and the time it took to restore parts of this house. Every time I go back I learn something new about the house or history of the residents of the house. My favorite part is the stair case because the workmanship just keeps me in wonder. If you have an hour downtown, check this place out, I did it before my friend had to fly out of Sky Harbor. It's a landmark of Phoenix, and it gives you a sense of how far Phoenix has come to develop from more than a century ago

Rory Hertzfeld-Hearse

Located in Heritage Square, this is part of a great jump back in time to learn about early Phoenix living. Great tour guide and small tours.

Sarah Moore

So much great information. Kevin was a great patient guide. Will definitely be back for special events.

Dawna Wukitsch

I am a Phoenix history buff, so I LOVE historic tours. The tours start at 10am, the ticket office open at 9:50am. Expect to take 45 minutes or so to get the full tour. Check Groupon for discounted tickets. Our tour docent Stan was VERY knowledgeable and shared a wealth of information with us. He even shared bits and pieces that even my dad (a born and raised Phoenician) didn't know. I don't want to give away too much of the tour. But if you're interested in learning more about our great city, and take a trip back in time, schedule the tour!

Jianwei Shi

Nice old house in PHX

Rajeev Ranjan

The place looks great and interesting from outside.

Melanie Missig

We got married here in September and loved every part about working with the Rosson House. The venue is gorgeous, the rental price was low, and they let us bring in all our own vendors. This is a gem tucked away in downtown Phoenix and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a unique piece of Phoenix history. The museum offers tours and the restaurants around Heritage Square are also very cute.

Ron Falk

Cool tour through the house. Some people may not know this, but this house was built by the Rosson family but they never actually lived in it. They rented out and eventually sold it to another family. Check it out worth a look.

Steven Brewer

Pricey but nice. Takes an hour, look but don't touch. Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Same rule with her - look but don't touch.

Dovid Staples

Superbly interesting

Nikki Schilling

Saw this online and thought cool... I could learn a little Pheonix history. Found the tour lacking in any real information. It felt like lots of hypotheticals. All furnishings were donated for the period, not linked to the family. Very little was shared about the Rossons because little was known. I would have liked the focus on the family who did live there as a boarding home. The restorations to bring the original look back to life with the wallpapers and ceiling coloring was a beautiful touch. The guide was not as knowledgeable as I would have liked. Felt like she took personal liberties to weave a story vs sharing a historical account. Often saying, I'm not sure BUT possibly...

Ann Roberts

Very historic!.

Philip Bramucci

Interesting little historic spot. It's worth the tour with the family if you're in town.

Fernando Islas

was lucky enough to get a private tour! (me and my girlfriend were the only two people who showed up for the 3pm tour) very historic and the people working the museum are highly informed and can answer just about any question you have about the house or phoenix basically! it was great!

Rick Quintana

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the tour. The woodwork was amazing.

Nikki Holgate

Fantastic history here. We took our kids for a homeschool field trip day and they had a blast!

Kyle Dirks

Volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable, museum is really cool to look at

Thomas Murray

This museum is pretty interesting, but probably more-so for the architect-minded. Our participation and enjoyment was dampened by a friend's inability to see the upstairs area due to physical constraints. Come as long as you can climb stairs.

Gwen Kowalski

Worth the tour!

Paula Brunelle

Totally enjoyed the tour of Rosson House our guide was very knowledgeable!

Ron McCorkle

This was a great peak into Phoenix's history in 1890! The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly.

Adrian Lanier

I have always been in love with this house amd have alway loved history. I didn't know that this house was also a museum until recently. My boyfriend and I visited this last Wednesday. I was nervous about him enjoying it because he is a tactile learner. We got to see the whole house, and in certain rooms they have objects that visitors can touch and play with. This museum is amazing for both the young and the old.

Melody Morse

Nice area to attend festivals. Parking is scarce and expensive when there's an event.

Amber Pommerening-Wheeler

Very knowledgeable staff made a great tour.

DAYANA G. SAUCEDO

Great experience

Sisyphus EP

Came for the free museum day and even though it was crowded it was well worth it. Lots of activities, history and a really good sight and is historical significant.

Bob Lessmann

Michael McDonnell

Lots of cool woodwork and interesting information about the family and life.
