out of 5 If you are into heritage houses and history, this is the place for you. I donated $2 so it was affordable to visit. I like how the tour guides shared the history of the house. It was well kept. Only downside is that it is only open on weekends. Definitely recommended!

Great museum to dig into previous century living! Museum staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, we have discovered new things and had a great time with children! It is free to enter the museum and to have a guided tour, you may make a donation afterwards. Strongly recommend!

I visited the Irving House on 29 December 2023. Learned a valuable history of Captain William Irving and his families, and interesting stories about the house. The pianos in the house were beautiful. The tour guides, Lydina and Robin are very knowledgeable. It was a super visit.
