Tallac Historic Site is comprised of three separate sites: The Pope Estate, the Baldwin Estate, and Valhalla. Most visitors start out at the Baldwin Estate, which shows an introductory video and features exhibits related to historic Tahoe. Visitors can tour the Pope House on a 1-hour guided tour. The home displays the way that high society visitors would have lived at Lake Tahoe. The tour guides share many stories of early life at the lake.

The shop inside the Baldwin Museum has books and Tahoe-related items available for purchase. The buildings at the site close during the winter, but the grounds are always open for visitors and include beautiful gardens complete with interpretive signs, allowing for self-guided tours. The site's website also features a mobile device tour, which guests can access by smartphone.
