Om
Raske fakta: Generasjoner av den samme familien sov under dette taket i 150 år, og den siste eieren, Mary, flyttet ut først i 1986. Nesten alle møblene og serviset som vises, kommer fra familiens eget loft, spiskammer og låve.
Høydepunkter: Mary holdt stedet så uforandret at besøkende i dag går inn i rom som er møblert slik hennes oldemor etterlot dem. Guider låser opp skap som avslører håndsydde klær, original tapet og handlelister med kråketegn som fortsatt er skrevet med blyant på spiskammerveggen.
Insidertips
- Book the first tour of the day to get near-empty rooms and extra time for questions with the guide.
- Wear flat, close-toed shoes because the original wide-plank floors are uneven and the upstairs stairs are steep.
- Skip the noon rush and finish your visit in the heirloom garden out back, where volunteers can name every heritage plant.
- Leave the flash off; the low natural light in the old rooms gives the interiors a genuine turn-of-the-century glow.
