Today Wheatland welcomes group tours from around the world. As visitors arrive they will be greeted at the historic site's Visitors Center and then begin their tour of the mansion. The group tours are guided through Wheatland by history interpreters, or docents, many of whom are elegantly attired in period dress. The tour lasts approximately one hour. Visitors are also invited to tour the beautiful grounds of Wheatland and learn more about James Buchanan's political life in the Visitors Center on their own.
