Best time to visit
Midweek mornings are best to avoid crowds and catch the first guided tour. Late spring through fall offers pleasant weather for walking the surrounding neighborhood.
Budget tips
Admission is modest; discounts are usually available for students and seniors, and children often get reduced or free entry, so check the house website for current rates. Look for occasional free community days and consider combining nearby sites to share parking and save on per-site costs.

About
クイックファクト: Step across the same front threshold where a notable suffrage leader once faced arrest, and you can almost hear the hush of serious conversation that shaped history. Docent-led tours usually cap groups at about 8 to 10 people, which gives you a close-up look at personal artifacts like a compact writing desk and crisp, inked letters.
ハイライト: Look closely at the parlor case and you'll find more than 200 handwritten letters, some still bearing smudged ink and pressed petals, offering a scratchy-paper intimacy you can almost feel. A quirky tradition invites visitors to place a palm on the worn banister where organizers ran their fingers, the wood smoothed over roughly 150 years and carrying a faint perfume of old tobacco and soap.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable, soft-soled shoes for narrow, uneven floorboards and tight staircases.
- Ask at the desk for guided tour times, docents often share stories and artifacts not in the self-guided route.
- Photograph the front parlor and porch for the best natural light, but respect staff guidance about flash and restricted rooms.
- Arrive at opening or late afternoon to avoid school groups that frequently visit mid-morning.
