Reviews
""Welcome home" is how we were greeted when we got here. For anyone looking to understand the history of AA, this is the place to go. I recommend the off-season to get the most out of your visit."
"Awsome trip from Seattle WA founders day 2023 including Dr Bob's house. Got to do the 3rd step Prayer in the same room Dr Bob would bring drunks off the street and do there 3rd step Prayer in. Of course need lots of new friends in the fellowship. Thank you God"
"I had a wonderful visit learning about one of the most influential persons in American History. My guide Jim P. was very knowledgeable and helped me to better understand the challenges that Dr. Bob and his family faced in the 1930's. A must visit for anyone involved in a 12;step program."
"What an experience!! I really enjoyed visiting Dr. Bob Smith’s historic house where Bill did his first 12 step with Bob. I am so grateful to AA for saving my life and this place is such spiritual gem. The gift shop is great as well! I bought a shirt, a lapel pin, an original Big Book and a coffee cup."
"If you are interested in the history of twelve step programs, this is a don't miss spot. The house has been lovingly restored to it's original condition based on interviews with Dr Bob's daughter. There is a lot of AA memorabilia. The staff person (maybe a volunteer?) gave us a really good tour of the house. He knew a lot of interesting details. Next door is a gift shop with a lot of books and other items. There is no charge, but a suggested donation of $5. Based on other historic places we have visited, $5 is a steal of a deal. If you can afford to donate more, you should."
