Reviews
"They need to update their website. They said they were open Monday through Friday and they are not. It looks like they're open between the hours of noon and 2 PM on Sundays and Sundays only."
"Went to visit the Crane House and was entertained by 3 readings from Edgar Allen Poe. It was a fantastic visit. Keep history alive."
"The people who manage this house are amazing at preserving, not only this house, but Stephen Crane's memory as well. I came here without realizing I needed an appointment. However, a docent named Susan came to the rescue and gave me a tour without any notice. Besides the mistake I made, this was very much worth the trip. Susan was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and willing to try to answer any question I asked. The house by itself is a worthwhile story on its own, even without its important connection to the life of Stephen Crane! Highly recommend"
"I didn’t take pictures because our tour guide was so interesting. Be prepared for an hour tour. It’s worth it. Hearing about Asbury history was so wonderful. Looking at Stephen Crane family photos and get a glimpse into the religious group that settled in Ocean Grove and Asbury. Definitely worth the stop. There is no entry fee, but bring some cash to slip in the donation jar. The Crane House is a labor of love"
"Very nice tour. We showed up a little past posted hours, but the gentleman was kind enough to show us around anyways."
