Excellent homeschool field trip after learning about Slavery and the Civil War. It's not large, but the perfect size for an afternoon. Beautifully put-together with a good mix of reading and hands-on exhibits, plus a toy room with multiple examples of old-fashioned things to play with! Highly recommend.
A small Museum that has a lot to offer for the whole family. You can learn about this abolitionist family homestead, that was an official stop on the underground
Great place to visit for all ages. I love the atmosphere of small museums. Kids will be entertained by toys exhibition. Adult will discover Newton town’s history
It is an old house with photos hanging as pictures on the walls. The place is ran down, looks like abandoned. They still charge a $6 fee.
Excellent educational tour of a beautiful house
Surprising abolitionist historical sight.
