Reviews
"The Gaslamp Museum has an exciting exhibition, "A Splendid Decennium: Victorian to Vanguard." This special fashion exhibit will be on view until April 27, 2024. Textile artist Marty Ornish is a critically acclaimed designer who has won numerous awards, along with being featured in many museums and exhibitions throughout U.S. and Europe. In addition, Sandee Wilhoit, is an exceptional San Diegan historian, writer, and lead tour guide for the Gaslamp Museum. Sandee is a "Walking, Talking Encyclopedia" of San Diego. This fashion exhibit was very eclectic and inspiring. It was definitely a must-see showstopper. Finally, the entire staff of the Gaslamp Museum is so SWEET!"
"It's a small museum but worth visiting. They provide self-guided pamphlet to read as you go through the rooms. However, you'll get the most out of it talking with the museum docent. On a Friday afternoon in October, they didn't have many coming in, so I was able to ask questions. The docent was very knowledgeable about the house and the surrounding Gaslamp District, whether it's historical or spooky hauntings. Also ask about Bum, the dog mascot. The gift shop is also tiny in the same room as admission is purchased. The courtyard outside is huge and seems like a nice area to rest of you've been walking around the Gaslamp all day."
"Visited here 07/21. I wish I could give this place more than five stars. I love historical homes that feel like a time capsule. And at $8 for admission (which they could easily charge double) you can't go wrong. Tours are self-guided with a flyer that gives you info on each of the rooms with furniture that date throughout the history the home was in use. I would love to do a guided tour next time I'm in San Diego or a haunted tour. They have a lovely little gift shop before you leave."
"It's a great museum to go visit. Lots of history in this house."
"Nice heritage home well preserved. Interesting displays and collections. A nice chill place to visit as part of a walk through downtown."
