💬 What Visitors Say

💬Children 11 and under get free admission, making it an excellent budget-friendly option for families. The Two-Museum Pass at $10.00 is also a great value if you plan to visit multiple local museums.
💬If you have mobility concerns or difficulty with stairs, request access to the first floor exhibit hall which is fully handicap accessible, and use the research desk also located on the first floor. The second floor requires stairs.
💡For genealogy research or in-depth historical exploration, schedule an appointment to access the research room with its library, historical records, photographs, and postcards collection—these resources are not available during regular exhibit hours.
💬Park for free on the west side of Philadelphia Avenue (about a block away) or on Talbot Street to save money, rather than using paid parking lots on Dorchester Street or the gravel lot.
💡Staff members like Carol are noted as knowledgeable and welcoming. Don't hesitate to ask questions during your visit—the museum is praised for its cleanliness and friendly service.
