The tour of the Weiser Homestead is self-guided; however, staff personnel are more than happy to answer any questions and provide additional information upon request. The tour includes three buildings – the Visitor Center (Scheetz House), the Weiser House, and the Education Building. The current exhibits were installed in 2002 and can take anywhere from forty minutes to two hours to entirely comprehend and digest. Cameras are permitted inside of the buildings.

The Conrad Weiser Homestead is located upon twenty-six acres of land. Seven total buildings exist on the property, of which three are open for touring. Two large monuments, a gazebo, the Weiser Family Cemetery, and a pond (under construction) are also located upon the site. Two picnic areas are present in the western section of the park and can be utilized at any time without reservation. The park is an attractive venue to walk, run, or play Frisbee. Public restroom facilities are available. Dogs are permitted, but must remain on a leash.

The site accepts personal checks and both Visa and MasterCard.
