It is open to visitors from March 11 to Dec. 14. It is closed only on Mondays, Easter and Thanksgiving. Tuesday through Saturday the hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. There are picnic tables and admission is your donation. There are a number of routes from which to choose to reach the memorial, but one would be 69 north to Route 6, then west to Route 9 and north toward Rome City.
Signs point the way to the memorial.
Guided tours are given through the home. You will see the chandeliers Porter designed, the watercolor moth prints she painted are enclosed in a glass-doored cabinet and her reference books are on the book shelves. Stills from the eight movies produced from her novels are displayed. You can look out over Sylvan Lake from the window she called her million-dollar picture window, certainly a novel idea for 1914. In the conservatory, where she did much of the writing for the five books that were born here, many of her popular works are available to purchase.
