The upstairs was recently refurbished with period paint colors and wallpapers. If you like Victorian architecture and some local history, it's definitely worth a visit!

It's a trip back in time, and worth the nominal fee to tour it. Be sure to see the carriage house in the back, and enjoy some refreshments and music there during the holiday season.
