Reviews
"Well in all honesty- we used the posted hours and took the word of the person at the aviation trail museum and trekked to this spot - only to in it closed as noted by a hand Witten note on the door- may try to come bak tomorrow, but this is really out of the way now. This is a free stop on he aviation trail."
"The history. I grew up hearing his name, his poetry. Seeing the house knowing this is where he grew up looking out of these windows onto this landscape at this railroad track. It gave his life a new meaning to me. My mother taught us, as children, "In the Morning," and my mother being a teacher, made sure we enunciated the words correctly. My sister would repeat it often as we grew up. We were taught to respect art and our culture. The house is a normal house on the corner of two side streets and in a regular neighborhood. And parking is on the street."
"Beautifully restored/maintained Victorian house, extremely knowledgeable guide (thanks again Angela!) and interesting exhibits document the life and literature of this important author, librettist, and activist. Well worth your time for a visit."
"This is an amazing place to visit. He had so many accomplishments. When you visit his house, there is so much history behind it. The tour guide provided a wealth of information. A great experience. You get to walk through Paul and his moms home, in the back of his home is a museum. More information about his accomplishments and his struggles during those times. The bike he rode etc. You can also watch a 16 minute movie. I loved having this opportunity to view his greatness. I highly recommend visiting his home and learning more. The cost is FREE!"
"A local treasure. The Ranger on staff (wish I had gotten his name!) was fantastic to talk to about the Dunbar family. The movie and the tour were great. I highly recommend spending time at the house. Do check out the art and writing the local schools have produced. The Dunbar House is a gem."
