This 1820 neoclassical house has been restored to look like a middle-class home in the 1800s, and it's attended by lively and informative costumed guides.
This is a quality museum with a varied collection. There's a captivating section on marine wildlife with an outstanding section on whales, including a life-size specimen. There are also hands-on exhibits, models of old sailing ships and an original copy of The Night Before Christmas written in author Clement Clarke Moore's own hand, which was sent to his godfather Jonathan Odell's family in New Brunswick.
