Description

Come one, come all to witness the genesis of The Rosenbach! Meet young Abraham Simon Wolf Rosenbach at the dawn of his rare book dealing and collecting career! Marvel at the many facets of Dr. Rosenbach’s personality: suave and shy, salesman, scholar, and showman all at once! On this tour, we’ll separate fact from fable, and see some of the good doctor’s earliest acquisitions, most significant publications, triumphs, and follies!

Proof of Vaccination

Beginning on September 1, visitors and program attendees must show proof of vaccination along with all ​staff members and volunteers. With limited space for social distancing in our historic house and library, requiring proof of vaccination is the best way to protect the health and safety of our visitors and staff.

  • Visitors and program attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination along with their photo ID at the front desk. We will accept your original CDC issued card or a photo.
  • With the vaccine requirement in place, masks are not required but are encouraged and will be available for use.
  • Visitors who are unable to show proof of vaccination will not be able to visit The Rosenbach at this time, including unvaccinated children under the age of 12.
