Visiting the Venard:
If you want to visit the Venard, contact Mr. Cross (see below). He was very cordial, and encouraged us to contact him. He is willing to show guests around if he has time.
At one point in my recent trip, a security guard approached and asked me who I was. I told him that I had gone to school there, and had talked to Mr. Cross. There was no problem, but if you go to visit, it might help if you first make sure that the guard knows you are wandering around.
