Tour the Historic Sands-Willets House, c. 1735/1845

About this event

Come explore how both the Sands and the Willets families lived in our historic home! During our 1-hour docent-led tour, you’ll visit Sands-Willets’ two period kitchen displays, and learn about their Colonial and post-Colonial roots. See how the Sands women spent their days cooking in the beehive oven and on the hearth, doing laundry without any conveniences, and much, much more. Our toy room is dedicated to children’s activities and children’s samplers from the 1700s and 1800s. The remainder of our period rooms, including two parlors and the dining room, show how the second family of this house, the Willets, lived. Our in-depth study of the suffragist movement shows how women progressed in their mission over the years, finally gaining success and earning the right to vote. Admission payable at the door: $10 per person; $5 children under 10. Sands-Willets House is wheelchair accessible.
