Tours are available, I think every afternoon at 2:00. The President of the College ordered that everything be destroyed after he bought the place. But, the current President put his wife, Mrs. Vickie Bryant, in charge of digging into the history of the property. Several artifacts have been recovered, and a few tunnels have been excavated. I took the tour last summer, and it was very interesting.
First, you have to watch a brief video on the history of the College. One of the first graduates was a brilliant man who went on to be a missionary to China. He spoke the language fluently, and he was able to blend in like a native. He became a valuable spy for the U.S. during WWII, when Japan occupied China. After the war, he was captured, and beaten to death by the Chinese Communist. The only connection to Society named for him was his name, John Birch.
