Check the website or call to get the most up-to-date hours. Tours start at the top of the hour, so make sure you plan to show up at the right time. Tours start from the carriage house next to the home - press the door bell or knock in order to be let in. Admission costs $10 for adults. Our tour guide Renee was fantastic! She shared tons of details on the history of the family as well as the architecture and decor of the house! She was a wealth of information and could answer all questions! This is probably the most detailed historical home tour that I have been on! You typically visit all 3 floors of the home, but we missed out on the basement due to time constraints. Well worth the cost of admission! Highly recommend visiting between Thanksgiving and New Years to see the home decorated magnificently for Christmas!

Great group of people that would give you pointers on picking out a telescope and how to use it. They have public outreach at the museum and would let you look through their scopes to give you an idea of what the heavens and telescope can show you. They also have a yearly star party at Patoka Lake south of French Lick, Indiana. They have an observatory where once you become a member, you can use their telescope after you learn how to operate it of course.

They had more reenactment and someone on the ground to explain what was happening. What was going on with people, dressed in military uniforms from the World War I era.

As you enter you start with the Civil War where you will see display cases full of very well preserves artifacts.

A must see.

Frankly, this museum is much nicer, informative, and engaging than it has any right to be. The very friendly docent on duty welcomed us warmly into the lobby and, after we paid our small admission fee, she took us through everything we needed to know about accessing the audio tour, the basics of the exhibits and I'm sure anything else that we had wanted to know. She was very friendly. The exhibits wind through the building with an early focus on the founding of the town. The major portions of the museum, however, are devoted to the flashier aspects that really shine of this small burg in the Midwest: the circus and laxative waters! Massive exhibits are devoted to the sulfur water that was an early cure-all which gave rise to the large spas that drove tourism to town. The most square footage is devoted to the huge, massive, enormous circus in miniature. My partner is all about miniatures and was totally engrossed in this display. And rightfully so; it is very impressive! Everything was above average for cleanliness, order, and functionality; which, if you've visited other small-town museums, you know isn't always the case. I left having a much greater appreciation for the town and its history!

Then you can walk around the short museum area with many interactive exhibits that once you touch a specific part of the exhibit a story or information would be told. There was lots of artifacts and reproductions of historical artifacts to be seen in the museum. Once you go through the museum, you can head outside. I was there in late July, so they had a small demonstration garden to view. I was super excited to see a three sisters demonstration on site! I've only heard of the planting method, never actually seen it before. Then you can head on down to the observation area and trails. To get to the observation area, it was concrete sidewalk. Someone in a wheelchair or mobility scooter should be able to access this easily. At the observation area is a map of the trails. The trails are no more than a mowed area of grass, with tall weeds on the sides, but it was plenty wide enough for my wife, child, and I to walk side by side without having to worry about the weeds. It was very well maintained path, but again, is just a grassed area. Like walking in your backyard. The trails are not marked in any way, other than what is mowed, so sometimes you might get confused when it appears to be a cross roads of sorts. We walked a circle once on accident, but luckily the weather was nice so we didn't mind. The hikes to the mounds is nothing "special" other than an up close and personal look at them, but for a history buff like myself, it was well worth it. I would suggest a bottle of water from the gift shop before heading out on the trail, especially if it's in summer as once you get out there you realize how thirsty you actually are! There was only one worker there that we noticed when we arrived, but she was extremely friendly, gave us plenty of information before we got started, and even was nice enough to let us know that the baby changing tables were in a specific bathroom on the opposite side of the museum before we even got going. That was extremely nice of her to let us know that before hand! Thank you!

I also make it a point to visit presidential libraries, national historic sites, etc. I've seen DOZENS of locations now, and I can honestly say Grouseland is - by far - one of the most impressive locations I've visited. The amount of authentic items dating back to William Henry Harrison is jaw dropping! Additionally, the collection of items not necessarily related to Harrison are breathtaking. For example, they own an impressive collection of real signatures as far back as Adams, Madison, and John Quincy Adams (to name just a few). The staff was fantastic. The day I visited, their computer system was down and they were unable to run my card for the entry fee. No matter, they let me get back with them later. Their volunteers are knowledgeable about their collections and items within the home. Can't say enough about this "diamond in the rough" presidential history site. I was truly blown away...
