Take a step back in time and enjoy touring the Harris family home. Learn more about the families who founded London, marvel at the artifacts and hear a haunted tale.

Love visiting this type of museum. It holds a treasure of real life from a bygone era. The library made me think that 'Jo' from Little Women would walk into the room at any moment.

This is my first time to write a review on google maps because the house is so decent and nostalgic that I was speechless when I first came in. The staff was friendly and asked if I had questions about the house once in a while. I was impressed and will not forget this place.
