Visitors have flocked to William Shakespeare's birthplace for over 200 years. A list of admirers from over the years can be seen in a window, now preserved in the house, with names of the famous and well-to-do etched in the glass by their diamond rings.
Today, visitors are no longer permitted to vandalize the home. Instead, they are treated to a tour of the past of what life was like for the Shakespeare family, John Shakespeare's occupation, and how the house became the museum it is currently.
