Start your planning by reserving an early afternoon tour at the Hanna House, which will be your second stop. Planning gets trickier if you also want to take a guided tour at the Marin Civic Center, with few if any days when guided tours of both locations are given. If you have to choose, opt for the guided tour at the Hanna House (where you won't get in at all otherwise) and use some of the self-guided options for the Civic Center.
