Enjoyed the Christmas self-guided tour yesterday. In addition to the fabulous tour of the house, EVERYone of the dioceses was incredibly special. Their personalities shined bright and made the tour and visit so special. They truly educated us and we learned a lot. The storyteller could really spin the tales about the "little people", gnomes, etc. Our "old man" historian was a kick in the pants playing the "old man" and verbally sparing with us. The young man from ASU was a great sport as we teased him and bounced our questions off of him! All in good humor but a great addition to the fabulous tour! The Christmas carolers added to the Christmas spirit and we're amazingly talented!

Very Rare Authentic Victorian Style House Located within Tempe’s Petersen Park Neighborhood. Built in 1892 as the home for Prominent Tempe Rancher Niels Petersen and his wife Susanna. Constructed by Renowned Architect, James Creighton, it was one the most Elegant rural homes in the Salt River Valley. This two-story Queen Anne Victorian-Style House features a Wrap-Around Front Porch, Various Custom Ornate Finishes throughout the Interior, and Ample Space for Entertaining. It is conveniently located just two miles from Downtown Tempe.

I've always driven by not knowing exactly what this house was until I went on a field trip with my son's 4th grade class. The guides had a very nice structure and routine and kept the children involved and entertained. I thought that it was a great tour overall.

I love this house. Simple and dignified, offering a glimpse into Tempe's past. Lovingly cared for by the Tempe Historical society. A nearby opportunity to introduce the past to your children and grandchildren! And a nice family holiday activity for all!

It is only open regularly to the public the first 3 full weekends in Dec. for Danish Christmas. This year (2019): Dec 7&8, 14 &15, 21&22. 10 AM - 2 PM Guides, cookies, some activities, park with swings and tables for families to make a nice day of it :-)

FREE, although donations are accepted to help maintain this beautiful piece of Tempe history. During the year, the house opens for field trips for local schools and private group tours can be arranged through Tempe Parks & Rec, for a nominal...

We attended one of their events. They had a garden party where everyone dressed in floral dress for time period 1850 -1950. They had drinks, finger sandwiches and desserts. I have wanted to see the house for years. Then a friend asked what it was and she was also interested. I looked up events and they had a few coming up. The house inside is beautiful. So many neat details. The hinges on the doors have elaborate etched designs. The wallpaper is gorgeous. Several pictures of the family. In the entry there is a history of the family and property on the walls. Definitely worth stopping to read. A wonderful time capsule worth...
