There are a few buildings in addition to the house, a picnic area, nice restrooms, and a short movie. The docent was excellent with his story telling. The house has many historical items in it. It's amazing how many lived in such a small space.

Good story, guy who worked there was clearly passionate about what he does and keeps it interesting. Sorry I missed his name, but well worth $4 for the tour!
