I really enjoyed this even though it was closed. When I was growing up mom would read the betsy tacy tib books to me.

Very interesting to learn about the author & see how she & her best friend lived.

I finally got to visit Betsy and Tacy’s house last month, and it was better than I could have imagined! Their hours are a little restricted, so I did the private tour, which was a very affordable $35. That let us see both houses, the gift shop, all the memorabilia, and included a tour guide who was amazing. She showed us around for a full 90 minutes and had so many amazing stories. She’s actually met Maud Hart Lovelace! I’m so thankful these houses were restored and preserve the setting from these iconic children’s books.

Super nice staff fun activitys

I visited here in August of 2018. I have never read the books, nor do I know much of the history associated with the books and the city of Mankato (My girlfriend has been a life long fan of the author and books). However, I must say that that the tour of the houses were very informative and very interesting. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and made every attempt to convey the differences between life back then and modern life today. The tour itself was about an hour long, covers both houses, and only costs $5.00. Theres additional areas of interest nearby that provide context to some of the stories. Some places are simple places near the homes, some are memorials at nearby parks, another is library, and theres plenty of artwork through the city that ate definitely worth a stop. Overall, I am very impressed with the Betsy-Tacy Society and their enthusiasm, their humor, and passion for preserving history and its accuracy. Highly recommend visiting if youre in the area.

This place is adorable. I have volunteered for years.

This location comes up for compelling downtown Mankato,MN venues such as Frenz art gallery, Carnegie gallery and house where MN master Sinclair Lewis wrote internationally acclaimed novel MAIN STREET.

Loved it!
