Don't miss this small but important museum and historic site with a fascinating backstory. If you're lucky (like our group) the tour guide will go a bit longer than the expected 30 minutes. The house may not be very big but there is a story - lots of stories - in each room. If you think Gustav Stickley was just furniture, think again. The house is full of original pieces and the reproductions really are extraordinary, including metalwork and textiles. There also happens to be a piece on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art so this site is not a roadside attraction by any means. And while I would usually not put a plug in for a gift shop, the Stickley Museum gift shop is small but has an impressive selection of housewares, books and items related to Stickley and his designs. And lest you think Gustav was the only Stickley to design furniture, you're in for a great (and sometimes heartbreaking) story about a family that has influenced American home decor for more than a century.
