kathleen w. • December 1, 2013Great tour docents! Caren Pauley is fabulously knowledgeable about the antiques and furnishings. Great space to celebrate!

Reagan B. • January 13, 2017I was a little bummed, because I had read reviews online about the Persian rugs, but they didn't have any on display when I went. Only a fraction of their collection is displayed at any one time.

Reasy M. • July 16, 2018Excellent museum. Full of history that can’t be done in one trip. Come visit in September.

Michael G. • March 10, 2017This place is awesome for people of all ages! From our 18 month old, our 4 year old, and my wife and I we all had a blast. Don't forget to visit the Wegman's kids area on the 1st floor.... a must!
