Plan your visit for Friday-Sunday between 11am-3pm when both locations are open. The venue is completely closed January-March, so avoid those months entirely.
Visitor tip
Use the Campbell Library parking lot as your GPS destination rather than searching for Ainsley House directly—it shares the lot and is much easier to locate this way.
Visitor tip
Engage with the volunteer docents extensively. Reviewers consistently praise them for being knowledgeable, patient, and able to answer detailed questions about the home's history, architecture, and original furnishings.

What visitors say
I was a volunteer for my daughters ballet academy and we decorated the room with ornaments and 2 ballet costumes. I took a little look around when I was done but the whole place wasn’t quite done yet but what I saw so far was awesome…
What a great place to visit and learn about the Campbell area. So much rich history about this house and Mr.and Mrs Ainsley. The architecture of this house is surreal. I mean everything was well thought out. The material they used to…
Very personalized and enjoyable experience. Docents are helpful and knowledgeable. The House and its contents are extraordinary - later generations had much foresight. Literally walking into the past.
