Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday for a tour at noon, 1, 2 or 3 pm for $10 per person. You can reserve online, or call (215) 438-1861..
You can just show up.
What to expect
A tour walks through a restored house from about the 1860s to the 1910s, with stories about the household on each floor. The site does not say how long a tour takes, so ask when you book. Reservations are encouraged on weekends and required for Thursday tours.
Tips for your first visit
- Ask about parking and the nearest transit stop when you book, since the site gives no directions.
- Ask how long a tour lasts and whether children are welcome, since the site does not say.
