Gold Pyramid House is open for tours!

Pyramid power refers to alleged supernatural or paranormal properties of the ancient Egyptian pyramids or objects similar in shape.   This residence, originally built in the height of the pyramid power craze, can be seen as you drive along Route 41.  The house is a one-hundredth-scale reproduction of the Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt and was once the largest known gold structure.  Your group can learn not only about the artifacts inside the house and on the property but of the strange occurrences when the house was under construction. 

Tour groups are by appointment only and should have a minimum of 15 people and children need to be at least of elementary school age.  This tour is not only educational but fascinating and will inspire interesting conversation.
