Brown Mansion — Attraction in Coffeyville

This was so awesome to see! I loved that you got to tour the basement and ballroom, as well as the main rooms. It was a very in-depth tour with a great guide. There's plenty of parking, be there about 10 min before the start time. Don't be late, they're very punctual with the start time and its a singular volunteer so the doors lock once the tour starts. If you are there early, like we were, you can take the time to walk the grounds and check out the garden/yard and the info boards with historical information. They have a small gift area and sell things like t-shirts, salt water taffy, and bottles of water. The tour takes about an hour. You can buy this as a combo ticket that also includes the Dalton Museum. Beautiful home with a lot of surprising tech advancements and original items. Kids 11 & 14 enjoyed the tour as well. There are stairs you'll have to do, but there are handrails to utilize and the older members in the group seemed to handle it fine. Check...

The tour guide, Linda, was an excellent storyteller. She pointed out many features that would not be obvious at first. There was a 6 & 7 year old in our group and she included them in the discussion..... inviting them to feel free to sit on the floor....but not to touch anything else. She was very gracious in the way she treated them and the rest of the party.

There are so many interesting artifacts in the mansion. The story of the Browns... even some of the sad parts..was fascinating.

The mansion is NOT an activity for the handicapped. There are three floors and a basement. (There is an elevator, but it's well over one hundred years old and ran with the use of a strong butler...

Stopped in town for lunch and saw this on google maps, was near the first tour time for the day and decided to stop by. The tour is approximately 1 hour and you get to see the basement + all 3 living floors. This is a historic site, so there are parts that need repair, but being a historic site requires specific/specialized repair.

Some things can be touched, but most are roped off and display only. We paid 10 per person, I don't think this is unreasonable considering they have to maintain the site/building.

I believe that the only way to view the inside of the house is through a tour, so be mindful of...
