Reviews
"Beautiful home with such a rich history. Staff was wonderful, very welcoming and knowledgeable!"
"If you have studied Fred Harvey or read any books on his life this is a fun visit. The carriage house has volumes of history and in the glass cases there is historical memorabilia. The house is undergoing restoration. It is easy to get a tour from one of the volunteers. You will just need to plan a couple of days in advance. Call the phone number on the website and they will get back to you to arrange a time. We had a private tour of the entire home. They have a lot of work to bring the home back to its grand days, but they have done so much with it thus far. I really enjoyed seeing the home and learning interesting facts about the Harvey family. I am grateful that they are saving this historical home!"
"This is a must see if you are a Fred Harvey fan. This property is in early stages of rehabilitation, but has great bones."
"Wasn't even open, had a few historical signs up. According to reviews had been under renovation for over a year. Now, very sad. Would love to see the progress or at least know what are the plans for the house."
"They are permanently closed. We drove all the way down there to find that out. Real bummer! The outside of the house was beautiful though! Lol! The neighborhood was gorgeous and it was a nice day so we decided to walk through the neighborhood and found out that some of the neighbors are definitely not friendly... Downright scary in fact! Too bad too because we would have loved to see more of the neighborhood."
