A well preserved house, I have been to a number of times. Every November they hold a small craft show and open house. You get a free cup of hot cider and they have baked goods for sale. The crafts are displayed on both floors. So up the curved steps you go! In the back section of the house is a very small museum with pictures on the wall and some tools. There is usually a gentleman there giving a tour.
In June they have Old Fashion Day.
