It was such a great and informative tour. We went on a very hot and humid day, and the house was very cool inside. When we walked in, we thought they had updated it with air conditioning, but we're told the coolness was because of the limestone walls. If you are into history or local history, I definitely recommend going and doing the tour. They have a lot of neat things that have been saved over the years from family members that are in the museum. The first pop-up toaster was invented by a man from Stillwater! We had a lot of fun, even our young daughter enjoyed it.

If you are in Stillwater this museum is a must see. The tour takes about an hour, and the guides are very good on introduce you to the atmosphere of the period. They tell you stories about prison inmates, about the families that lived there, and in perfect Victorian style ghost stories. The entrance is 5 dollars (1 for children).

Exceptionally low priced, especially for a full guided tour, an overall excellent experience and learning trip. If you're in the area I definitely recommend it. Also, the house is said to be haunted but I made it through ghost free so if you're into the paranormal then it might be up your ally. 5/5 experience.

Is your around Stillwater or not, definitely go to this place! Amazing tour. Only take about an hour the cost is REALLY CHEAP! Good history behind the house and the area. We had Rollie and he was so passionate about this place! So if you get him he could tell you all about it. Good staff overall too.

Impressed Prison Historical House that was next to the Minnesota State Prison before prison buildings were burned down by arson, that are now apartments north of the house.
