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 Scouting Room shows the evolution of both Boy and Girl Scouting.
The remainder of our period rooms, including two parlors and the dining room, show how the second family of this house, the Willets, lived. Also, certain segments from our past WWI Home Front exhibition are still on display by popular demand and show how women contributed to our success in the war, including The Farmarettes and The Canning Train, and Women: Over Here & Over There. The front parlor retains the entirety of The Suffragists presentation.
Admission payable at the door: $10 per person; $5 children under 10. Sands-Willets House is wheelchair accessible.
