What a wonderful, inviting atmosphere with a patient, kind and knowledgeable staff! We visited on a weekday afternoon, and the staff was so pleasant. We arrived an hour early for the 3pm historical tour, and the docent brought us to a really cool open room to play old-fashioned games with our children. Obviously it is still a 340 year old home so children need to behave accordingly and not run around touching everything, but I found it to be balanced with letting children be children and still enforcing the respect and decorum due the building. In terms of history, I found this place to be again - balanced. There is no such thing as neutral; everyone carries a worldview with them as they interpret the facts. That said, this was a well-balanced presentation of the history of this local area without tainting it with too many present-day politically driven interpretations. I would highly recommend this as an educational visit and the tour is definitely vital to getting a feel for the history. The display right in the entry way with the indigenous man, the Dutch woman and the African man, along with the map depicting global trade were beautiful. Seeing the complicated history of how I came to be formally in a museum setting was very validating. My mom always told me this history, but I have yet to see it on display like this in any history museums. Usually, the complex history is compartmentalized or one culture is emphasized over the other. There is a small parking lot where we were able to park both of our cars, the bathrooms are impeccably kept and easily acce
Loved the new exhibit and the tour! It was informative, inclusive and thought-provoking and the staff are passionate about the history and share it with their visitors! A real gem!
Beautiful historical site. They offer several events each month including Revolutionary War era reenactments.
