We love to bring the grandkids. The acting is great and they never disappoint. You can tell everyone puts their heart into each play including the stagehands. It's a nice little small theater with popcorn. after each show we are allowed to shake hands with all the actors.

We had an amazing time with Pat on this special October tour and learned so much. The house is beautiful inside and out and Pat was a wealth of information. She is so passionate about the home, Victorian mourning traditions, and the stories of the people who lived there. We could have stayed all day and listened to everything she knew!

We took a guided tour and enjoyed everything! We didn't spend much time in the main building, so went back to look at some of the displays. There's too much to read for just a one or two hour visit. You must have a guide to go into the historic house, and the stairways are steep and narrow. Definitely not ADA approved! Lots of original beds, paperwork, kitchen appliances and more. Well worth the time.

I knew nothing about grist mills and suddenly I learnt so much US history. The people here were the best guides ever. they explained things so simply and it was great. I could have stayed hours.

Experience life during the early years of the Industrial Revolution at Historic Speedwell. This National Historic Landmark site preserves the restored estate of Stephen Vail, proprietor of the Speedwell Ironworks, located nearby through exhibits and iron working artifacts. The most significant of the eight historic structures on the site is the completely restored Factory, where Stephen's son, Alfred Vail, worked with Samuel F. B. Morse to perfect the telegraph. It was here on January 11, 1838, where the first successful demonstration of the electromagnetic telegraph changed the course of modern telecommunications. A new hands-on, interactive exhibit experience awaits visitors to the Factory Building. Visitors receive guided tours of the Vail House and the Factory. The Wheelhouse, adjacent to the Factory, houses a restored 24-foot overshoot waterwheel, which still works today!
