Entry fees are very affordable (under $10 per person, with family rates available). The historic home has stairs and period flooring, so accessibility may be limited for strollers. No food service on-site, but restrooms are available.

Open seasonally from May through early December with limited winter hours. Victorian Christmas programs in December are especially popular. Best programming and demonstrations occur during summer months. Always check operating hours before visiting as they vary by season.
