O
Rýchle fakty: Generations of the same family slept under this roof for 150 years, and the last owner, Mary, moved out only in 1986. Nearly all the furniture and dishware on view came from that family's own attic, pantry, and barn.
Zaujímavosti: Mary kept the place so unchanged that visitors today walk into rooms arranged the way her great-grandmother left them. Guides unlock cupboards to reveal hand-mended clothing, original wallpaper, and the chicken-scratch grocery lists still penciled on the pantry wall.
Insiderské tipy
- 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.
