In addition, all guests and employees of the house will be required to wear masks, and health screenings will be conducted for all staff, as well as increased cleaning and sanitation throughout the House.

The Show House will be open to the public April 8- May 9, 2021, with an Opening Day Preview Reception on April 7, 2021.
