Sadly I wasnt able to go inside the museum due to them being closed until the 28th of November, but I have been in there before and loved every minute of it! Cant wait for them to reopen so I can go and visit!

Great guided tour with many stories included, some about neighboring home owners and issues of the day. See original household items from the original owner. Some items from neighboring homes. Many household items from the same time period. Beautiful woodworking within the home!

You wont regret this stop. The house the museum is in is absolutely gorgeous, filled with oak and birch woodwork. Many of the windows are original curved glass. The exhibits are interesting and the third floor is great for curious kids.

This place isnt like a lot of other museums...not as much to show..maybe not as much to do...but for a small town museum there is great variety. I rated 5 stars because they have kept a lot of the home original, which i think is awesome. Also, it appeals to both children and adults as it has an entire activity room, and animal area, and gives lots of info on older times, wars, etc. The atmosphere here is wonderful. Homey yet professional. I think they have good prices, great balance, and are doing a wonderdul job.

Not impressed for the $10 you have to pay to get past the foyer. Once you see the first floor, leave. When you go upstairs, it kills it for anything you seen prior to that. The outside grounds are even disappointing. Fir a historic property, you would think they would landscape and restore it all around the house. I live near this house. It hasnt changed in 5 years. Never gets many people. Just a boring place.

We highly recommend checking out Childrens Christmas. They teach children about Christmas traditions and how to sign Jingle Bells. The exhibits change from time to time and its neat to explore if you like the time period.

Very reasonably priced. Not bad for a small town museum. A very good place to take your kids to have fun and learn about history. They could use more interactive displays.

Loved visiting as a kid, and the experience is still educational as an adult. The exhibits change fairly regularly, so theres usually something new to experience. Guided tours of the exhibits are informative and professional.
