School tours meeting SOL guidelines are available for all ages, and special events are held regularly to promote the purpose, mission and objectives of the Anne Spencer House and Garden Museum. The Spencer museum has a 501(c)(3) foundation, of which Shaun Spencer-Hester, granddaughter of Edward and Anne Spencer, is the director.
