In 1988 the Hunter’s family home opened to the public as the Hunter House Victorian Museum. The interior was refurbished with reproduction wall coverings, floor and drapery treatments and upholstery on the original furnishings. Lighting fixtures were refurbished as well with the inclusion of reproduction fixtures where needed. The original collection of furnishings and decorative arts has been complemented with the donation of several unique pieces.
The museum provides guided tours for the public April through December each year as well as offering a full season of special tours, exhibits and events highlighting the various facets of Victorian social history and custom.
Special educational programming is also offered throughout the season for groups of all ages and interests from pre-school to elderhostel. The only membership program offered is one for children in honor of the three youngsters who grew up in this family home.
