This small but mighty museum was a great stop on our Boston visit. We were welcomed immediately and our questions were answered. The set up and displays are great. Things to look at, touch, play with, and listen to. Even as adults we enjoyed the childrens room. We were fortunate to have the place to ourselves. Great for all ages. Our college age kids enjoyed too. Grounds were inaccessible in March but Im sure they are beautiful in summer.

Weird alarms throughout the house. You need to ring the bell to have someone explain how the alarms work before taking the self guilded tour.

A Historic house museum unlike any other. Become immersed in the roots of the American Revolution, in the social issues around slavery in the 1800s and more. Interactive exhibits and games for children. Brings history to life.

Was there slavery in New England? I did not know the answer to this until I visited this museum.Beautifully landscaped exterior with lots of native crops.
