Plan Your Visit

The Camron-Stanford House is located at 1418 Lakeside Drive, Oakland, CA 94612 on the shores of Lake Merritt.

A visit to the Camron-Stanford House is a step back in time. Our self-guided tour will lead you through our period rooms, each decorated in 19th century fashion. Along the way you will learn about what it was like to live in this house during the 19th century, and about some of the people who called Camron-Stanford House home.

Continue your visit in our lower exhibit gallery to learn more about life in Oakland and California during the 19th century. Exhibits rotate throughout the year.

Tickets may be purchased on site (cash and card accepted).

Accessibility

The Camron-Stanford House was built in 1876. Unfortunately we are not fully ADA accessible. The lower exhibit galleries and lower-level restroom are accessible by foot, wheelchairs, and other mobility devices. The self-guided tour will require the use of stairs.

Our exterior garden is accessible by wheelchair, however, exploration of the garden involves moving over decomposed granite and/or grass.

For those unable to traverse the stairs, we have available a full 360 degree virtual tour of the period rooms. Please inquire with a volunteer for access to the virtual tour while on site. For further accommodations or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us in advance of your visit.
