I would like to start my review with the tourist guide who actually invited us to visit this place.So, we were roaming around and guide asked us to take a look into that place and history related to it. Since i was visiting from Canada, i had no clue who Stephen Hopkins was but after the tour, I actually read a lot about him and his life experience.This house is a great place to visit if you’re interested to see how people used to live in colonial society. Everything related to Stephen Hopkins is still placed in that house and history is very interesting.

This is a great place to visit. So much history. Our guide was very knowledgeable. There is no cost to tour the place but they do ask for donations. This house is over 300 years old.

Yknow...Ive been to my share of museums, and the long and short of it is this:1) The less crowded, the better2) The more hands on, the better3) The guide, if afforded the opportunity to have one, makes or breaks the whole thing.We got here at 10am (opening) on a scorching hot Saturday, and we were joined by only one other intrepid scholar. Check one in our museum-fun favor.Marjorie (the guide) took us right in. She kept apologizing for the heat, but her warmth and her candor was way more overwhelming. She is a gem and we had a delightful time learning about early Providence. Oh, and she let us carry the water pot...bro, we are PAMPERED with our plumbing and innoculations.Of note: Im impressed with both this house and John Browns house up the street for their willingness to engage with the stain of slavery head on in both exhibits.For any nerds like me and my lady out there, this is a fine hour spent in RI.Oh, and its freaking FREE, so leave a good tip and sign the guestbook... otherwise, the grants stop coming in....sigh.

Very interesting history. Friendly and helpful staff made the visit edifying.

Well worth a visit for the history you will learn.

Very interesting tour. Glad we visited. Thank you to David, our tour guide. Super job!

The tour was awesome and staff were super friendly. Love the settings.

If you like history this rounds out the Rhode Island experience. Very knowledgeable tour guides!

Great docents explaining the history of the house and its occupants including 5 or 6 slaves.

It was a nice unexpected tour. We just stopped by enroute to our vacation destination and was offered the tour.Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and good story tellers and shared a lot of interesting tidbits of history we didnt know.

Fantastic pop of history if you are visiting provident!

Beautiful garden to sit and contemplate, but bring a cushion, the benches are damp even on a hot, dry day

Knowledgeable tour guides, great set up and dont forget to sign the vistors book!

Loved it!!! Katrina was also a great tour guide!

We had an awesome experience while taking a stroll through Providences east side. We were offered a tour of the Stephen Hopkins House and were very impressed. Stephen Hopkins, one of the original signers of the declaration of Independence (learned that on the tour!) owned this house on the river before it was moved twice to where it is today.The docent was very friendly and knowledgeable, taking us around the house and showing the beautiful furniture, colonial architecture, and sharing the incredible history associated with the house. I would definitely recommend a visit if you are walking down benefit street.

A must see! Mark was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about the history of home, the area and Stephen Hopkins.

Lots of history from knowledgable tour guides Barbara and her husband Doug. Definately a visit while in Providence.

Thank you for the extremely informative tour!

Fascinating museum for anyone interested in Rhode Island history

We arrived after they closed and David gave us a 10 minute whirlwind tour that taught me over 10 things I never knew!

Loved it! Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend going if youre in the area.

It was like a small trip in time to the 18th century, lovely little museum full of history

Amazing history and wonderful staff!

Great historic house tour. Knowledgeable tour guides. Free open house tours on certain waterfire nights.

My husband and I were very excited that the house was open for tours last night! It was great learning about the history within the house. All the staff was super nice and very knowledgeable!

Very cool colonial house from the 1700s!

Fantastic on so many levels... historical, meaningful, interesting, free, and cool (literally and figuratively) on a hot summer afternoon!

I Loved walking the College Hill area

Fascinating little museum.

If your first name is Stephen this place is not to be missed. If your first name isnt stephen not sure why you would bother
