Shelton McMurphey Johnson House — Attraction in Eugene

Very worth your $5! It was interesting to learn about the families who lived there through the self guided tour book. The house is really lovely, however, it is a little tacked up with posters on the walls in some rooms advertising current performances, that aren't at the house. I don't know what that's all about, but it ruins the ambiance, imo. There are a lot of interesting pieces throughout the house though, furnishings and decor.

If you’re going to pay for an event make sure you know what restrictions they will have. We went for an event and we’re expecting a tea and food and there was none. We also were not allowed to explore the house at all which was a huge part of why we went in the first place. Lovely house, but not worth the money for the special events. Just do the cheap tour because at least you actually get to see the house. Huge disappointment.

ETA- we paid $60 for two people for the event versus like $5 for an actual tour, don’t waste your money.

Second Edit - what the responder said is not true at all. I have attended teas where you were completely free to explore the upper floors of the house and I know from others that they...
