This is your typical old house turned into tour place. What was different about it was that the guide knew some strange things about the house.
For example: the house is supposed to be haunted by the daughter because she doesn't want visitors to thieve. There is a pane of glass that the daughter of the owner, William Kelley, scratched her name. It is still there. There is another pane with a name scratched in it that is not legible. The main room is so large because hippies in the 60's started a bonfire inside the house, and used the dividing wall as wood. Not your typical tour but interesting nonetheless. The house has much of the original furnishings upstairs and in the library room. You can still smell the must from the old wall paper.
