(November 6, 2022, 9:33 am)We arrived for our 2 hour tour and were greeted by Bonnie and Karen. They toured us through the rooms of the house giving us glimpses of the past. Then they gave us some gadgets andet us investigate on our own. We were a group of 8. 10 is the max usually. It was an educational and interesting night.
(July 31, 2022, 2:39 pm)A beautiful well kept Victorian house. The tour was very informative and everyone was really nice and helpful.
(June 26, 2022, 11:14 am)A three-story home with an interesting history.
We enjoyed the visit and tour as we were looking for a short mid-day something to do. Calling ahead we were told we had time and arrived to be greeted by a docent in the front entryway.
The house has few original furnishings but is filled with pieces of history that the docents kindly gave us all knowledge they had on various items.
I was impressed by the kitchen gadgets of the day, an ice box that was round and lost favor as no one wanted to chip away the square blocks to fit in it. A decorative glass box in the bedroom we were told was used to display funeral cards that were displayed as a means of showing status.
One room is filled with all things related to telephones. I believe a phone company donated some funds and this was a way to show appreciation. This room is filled with interesting things. I searched a catalog of numbers for my grandmother's name. I didn't find it, but she had married 8 times in her life, so I was unsure what name to look for.
As it is with an old house a few ghost stories were told. There is a good bit of information that surrounds the immediate area of Brooksville, and we enjoyed the history that the place brought to live through photos and items of yesterday.
Items of interest are old newspapers articles on the hallway walls that detail some important events. The doctor's office is filled with medical items from times past and one room has multiple music playing devices that are very interesting. There is a room with some past military items and a very detailed doll house in the children's room.
The docents were exceedingly polite and gave us more attention and time than you could expect. I was very grateful to have such wonderful people play host to us and show us with great interest all the amazing things that are here to see. If you like history at all, or are curious about the history of Brooksville, this is a place you will certainly enjoy.
(May 28, 2022, 9:16 pm)Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable! She has been a part of the house for quite a while and her grandmother was one of the owners! Nothing happened during our day trip but we plan a night one to see if anything happens! Decor and house are really worth checking out. For 8 bucks you can't beat it!
(August 31, 2021, 7:33 am)Very awesome daytime tour that I did last Saturday! This place is filled with a ton of historical items and there is so much to look at here! They offer $5 daytime tours on Saturdays from 11am-3pm. All the money earned goes towards the restoration of the house! The volunteer tour guide I had was absolutely awesome! 👻🎩📸
