On your tour, you’ll walk through the 25-room Spanish villa and learn how Frank Warren built the mansion, and admire the collection of his Impressionist-style artwork.

“The Warren Family has graciously opened the doors of their home for these tours”, says Patrick Rofe, executive director at Furnace Town. “The Warren family works with Furnace Town to coordinate the tours, and this is a unique opportunity that only comes along every two or three years. So, for anyone that’s curious or heard stories about the Warren mansion in the Pocomoke Forest, here’s your chance to learn how the family contributed to the rich cultural heritage of Worcester County.”
