Today bridges have replaced ferries, dispensing with the hassle of the fifteen-minute boat ride as well as the scenery and charm. All of that is here at the Museum, and visitors will enjoy a Guided Tour of the period rooms, furnished as they could have been between 1840 and 1860. Two outbuildings, an outhouse and a washhouse, can also be seen. The grounds include beautiful flower and herb gardens . The Tour is conducted by a docent who tells of the area's history and answers questions.
Groups are welcome, as well as individuals.
