Best place for pictures! Definitely a good tourist spot to fill those cameras. Day or night, youll still get a good shot. Tip at night: dont stand in the front, go one row back for better lighting on the face. Also, there are a LOT of people at night. If youre in the area and want some pictures taken, definitely come here!!!
Awesome treat for the whole family!!! Will definitely make this a Christmas tradition. I have always driven by this place, but it has never been open to go in. I took my spouse and two boys. We were merrily greeted by the society volunteers dressed as nutcrackers!!! It was so eloquently decorated. The food served looked fake it was so beautiful and precisely arranged. They also passed out a Christmas keepsake for our tree! So much history and scandal! My children loved the attic steps that of course they couldnt go up and the speak tube used by patients to speak to the Doctor through. Being a nurse, I really loved the medical aspect. We will be sure to make this a Christmas tradition and donate to its future preservation fo generations to come.
I might be biased, as Dr. Howe-Waffle is my great-great-grandmother, but I find the Howe-Waffle House a treasure on so many levels. The doctor fought to get into the American Medical Association (AMA) at a time when women were not admitted. Her medical office on display is particularly fascinating (be grateful for modern obstetric tools, ladies!). She also divorced her first husband and remarried, hyphenating her name when that was rarely done. She was a naturopath and baby doctor who delivered many area citizens, including my grandmother and great aunt. She rode all over muddy rural Orange County visiting patients in a horse-drawn carriage with a pearl-handled revolver under her seat.The house showcases Victorian architectural details you rarely see today. I love the ornate carved wood staircase and trims, period furniture and wallpapers, stained glass windows, period clothing and accessories.I’ll be there for the 130th anniversary of the Howe-Waffle House Sat., July 20, 2019. Join us!
This is a beautiful home, everyone should see it!
We toured the home and medical museum today - what a delight! The people were super friendly, very welcoming, and the food offerings were terrific! Were joining the Society this week! Excellent history!
Hang out here all the time.
I havent gone yet
