It's incredible that a well known architect would design himself such a tiny house, but that is part of its charm. The museum is operated by SPNEA (Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities). You might want to consider a membership if you want to visit many of their properties (and especially if you want to go to some of their many terrific special events). You can also get discounts here through AAA or a WGBH membership. The docents/guides will give you a great insight in Gropius, his life and works, and his thoughts on designing this house plus a history of the home. It's a tranquil setting and an enjoyable tour. Codman House is close by, and it's nice to combine the two in one day.
