We went to this beautiful house with a 4-H group ranging in age from K-12. The great thing is, everyone enjoyed it. There were lots of wonderful hands on activities showing how electricity is made that everyone participated in. The tour guide was informative, answered questions, and gave us plenty of time to do our own exploring. The historical and technical information was related in a fun and easy to understand format. In addition, it is a beautiful example of turn of the centruy architecture and family life at that time. Plan on spending a couple of hours.
