Reviews
"6 stars, amazing historical house. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the home. According to her, the first place in the world to have electric lighting. All the Christmas decorations still up. A wonderful experience"
"Definitely recommend during the holiday season. The decorations were beautiful. This year's theme, The 12 Days of Christmas, was fun because we tried to spot all the items from the song that were in each room. It was clear the museum staff was passionate about the home's history. Be aware that this is not a place for young children, and is not handicap accessible."
"Very cool house. We went right as they opened and got a private tour. The basement is really cool and you get to interact with the exhibits. We want to come back at night for the holiday display."
"This is a gem of a museum. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the historic architecture and learning about the history of this home. The docins were super knowledgeable and the basement area was a blast to explore. The original woodwork and furnishings are incredible. It was our first visit, but apparently they are constantly changing the theme and hosting special tours so we can't wait to go back and learn more!"
