Good historical place to visit . They do awesome with their tours.

Its a beautiful house and its fun to see how things have and havent through the years. Its also good to learn about our local history.

It was a fascinating tour of a historical home. The people who lived there and the fact that the home still exists are whats important here & of interest. The tour is very interesting and the guide I had was very knowledgeable. Id recommend checking it out if you have time. Just try not to draw comparisons to Salisbury House or Terrace Hill.

Great tour guides! So informative. Great for groups traveling from other countries, too!

The house is unassuming from the outside but has a wealth of history inside. I took my younger son on a tour with me. He really likes history so he enjoyed it. I dont think it would be of interest to children that dont like history. There are two factors in play with this house. First, it was one of the first houses in the area. Second, it was discovered that the house was on the underground railroad. I would highly recommend this tour for people interested in one or both of those topics. The tour guide was very knowledgeable.

Tour hostess was very interesting and really explained a lot of the small Victorian details. Our 12 and 16 year olds enjoyed it too!

We have the joy of meeting and receiving a tour with Gale! She made exploring the house a highlight on our visit to Iowa. We absolutely loved hearing stories, exploring historic culture norms , and truly going back in time! A must see and experience for visitors of all ages!

Very interesting history! If youre driving by, definitely make a stop!

Great visit great tour guide. Grandson and I loved it.....

Was estate sale shopping and was surprised to get in this master historical site of our lows history and railroad background. .Small for its size huge for its contents and informational..Gale was a joy and Ive always seen more into historical finding than most. Is like to spend the night here just to feel the past so called haunting but automation and bringing in electricity etc iscthe reason why its been spoiled.. Another thing you should do is venture out its surroundings and other close by housing alot of history.

Beautiful antiques are a must see .And its haunted!And the tour is phenomenal.

Very fun and interesting! Beautiful antiques from way back!

Very interesting! Hidden gem in the metro

Loved the tour. Learned so much.

Lovely Historical Home also Known To be Haunted If Ya Believe In That

One of the more interesting historical places in the Des Moines area to visit its like stepping back in time.A very caring and informative staff make it a wonderful place to spend an hour or so!

Very beautiful and great tour

A great place to learn about the founder of West Des Moines (Valley Junction), and Iowas part in the operation of the Underground Railroad.

History at its best. Its about the underground railroad and founders.

This was super fun! I learned a lot!

Beautiful house, intelligent guide, but most of the items were not original to the house/family. The connection to the underground railroad seemed like a stretch.

Although its very small, the place contains many history behind it.

Fantastic history!

Great house with an amazing amount of history! A must visit!!!!

Has a connection to the Underground Railroad. Original owner helped found Valley Junction.

Wonderful historic home.
