Winchester Mystery House is an imposing Victorian mansion built by Winchester Rifle heiress Sarah Winchester. The house's floor plan is a study in eccentricity, boasting details including twisting hallways, secret passages, and stairways that lead nowhere. According to legend Sarah Winchester built her profoundly odd home in an effort to ward off the spirits of those killed by her husband’s firearms. Sarah compulsively remodeled the house until her death in 1922, resulting in 160 rooms that remain in a state of Victorian splendor or arrested decay.

Today, visitors make their pilgrimage to the house to witness in person all its peculiar glory. The home is lovingly restored and now plays host to a number of fun, interesting and mystifying tours each day. An eclectic gift shop gives guests the opportunity to purchase souvenirs. New attractions include Axe Throwing at the Stables, Houdini's Spirited Escape Room and Sarah's Attic Shooting Gallery.
