Reviews
"Went on a tour during the weekday. There was no wait and the tour can range in length from 30 mins to 2 hours. Allison was very friendly and gave a great experience overall. Debs was a giant in the struggle for labor rights and I highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in labor rights struggle. Solidarity forever!!"
"Allison led our graduate student group through a tour of the house and it was INCREDIBLE! There is so much to learn about Debs, unions, and American history in general! Allison’s passionate and knowledge made the experience especially enriching and impactful for our students. Highly recommend this amazing (and free) tour experience."
"Had a great tour by Allison even though we got there late in the afternoon. The house is beautifully restored. A place of pilgrimage for those committed to ensuring working people get a fair share of our nation's economy."
"This museum is an Indiana treasure. There are lots of artifacts to see and enjoy. When I visited I was lucky enough to have Allison Duerk as my guide. She is a fountain of knowledge of the man and the museum. I plan to visit again to buy a souvenir baseball hat. They don't have baseball hats now but plan to have them soon. I collect baseball hats when I travel."
"Allison is an amazing tour guide! I had a great time learning about everything that is on display here. Lots of original furniture, art dedicated to Debs, and photographs that tell Debs' story as well as his family's and others that influenced Debs. Allison's expressive story telling had me captivated onto every word. The attic mural was my favorite part. I highly recommend a visit here, and look forward to coming back here again."
