I think it means they don't have tours those days and the visitor's center and museum is not open. The grounds would be open because it is just out in the open on a regular street/neighborhood, you could walk through it. You could walk right up to a bunch of the houses, they are just houses on the street. Frankly you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the old houses and other houses around at a glance. It's not like it's some cordoned off area, much of it is alongside a busy road/intersection. There's an area you can walk through without traffic, it is about 2 blocks or so. It would take about 5 minutes to walk the entire area.
