Tinker Swiss Cottage is a charming house, dating back to 1865. It's a favorite jaunt for local school groups, so try and pick a day when you can look at things without it seeming like a madhouse. This charming house offers so many 19th century treasures and insights into life back then. From mundane chores like ironing to entertaining in the parquet-floored parlor to the production downstairs, there is much to charm you. They maintain a turn-of-the-century garden out back, and a favorite time to visit for everyone is the summertime ice cream social. Don't overlook this museum, even if you saw it back in 4th grade, there's always something new to discover.
