I love this museum. I always have seen houses like this, on the hill, and always wondered what they…read morewere like inside when Fall River was a busy mill town. I found the house warm, almost cozy with the velvet and dark colors. The house is in very good shape and it is clean. You get to see all the different rooms, living room, bed room, dining room etc. There is back staircase that the servants used. The other treasure about this museum is the gift shop. I found the gifts unique. Lot of special Christmas ornaments, but other gifts also. Outside the house the grounds are well kept and well designed. There is a fountain and the garden has a circular design to it. It is not substantial enough to travel from afar to visit, but if you are in Fall River, or near, definitely take the tour.

WHAT A GEM!!! Hit this museum after seeing all the positive reviews and it did not disappoint. Our…read moretour guide was more than happy to provide a thorough history of the area and answered all of our questions. I learned so much from this museum. So much to see and so many stories. The house itself is gorgeous! I had no idea that there were so many artifacts from the Lizzie Borden trial housed here. We visited the Borden House later that day and as far as actual artifacts, this museum has them all, not the Borden House. If you are interested in the Lizzie Borden trial at all, come here! I also enjoyed the circular dining room and the clothing exhibit upstairs. I highly recommend this museum to anyone visiting the area. It is a treasure trove of information! Also worth noting is the museum gift shop. Fantastic selection of merch. Literally something for everyone. I loved how the gift shop extended upstairs and included items for the bath. My favorite find was the Lizzie Borden paperdolls, complete with the outfits worn at the trial! Solid 5 stars.

But after this winter, I wanted to get out and decided to check them out. First, as a side note, don't use 'Battleship Cove' as your GPS destination; otherwise, the GPS will tell you it's on the Braga Bridge/195. There was some overnight scout pack or something when I went, as a bunch of people/kids were getting out when I got there. There was nobody to show my pre-paid ticket to, so I just went in; it was just chaos. As far as the attraction goes, it's amazing how big and how small it is at the same time. Small in the sense that I clocked my head a couple times, and to contort a little bit to get through doorways and hallways a few times, and I'm only 5'6. I can only imagine how enlisted people did it. Big in the sense that you don't realize how far down it goes and how much they cram into what is a relatively small vessel. It's a lot of interesting information and a fun time exploring the ships. And its relatively cheap too. In the summer, I can imagine it getting really hot in the vessel so I would say that Spring or Fall is probably the best option.

It does not seem to be very handicap accessible so do make note of that. It happened to be the first Friday of the month, which if you buy ahead online is 1/2 price. $10 ($5 on half price first Friday)) is very reasonable especially compared to the PCM. The water room was closed but it honestly wasn't missed since there were so many other rooms. Real highlight is the indoor space playground, though my daughter personally liked the doctor room. There's some outside play. Unlike PCM, it doesn't seem to be much learning besides some signs on the walls about the planets, more play based but it was exactly what we were looking for and it wiped my daughter out for a 3 hr naps!

In addition to the usual stacks of books, the library has computers available to be used plus wifi access, digital media to be borrowed and lots of space for study. I found a quiet study room under the back stairs that was first-come first-served and spent about three hours there, working and having my work Zoom meetings. Plenty of power, no noise and I was not disturbed. I was even able to keep my sneaky water bottle with me and didn't mind since there wasn't anything I could possibly damage with spilled water. Great space and a fabulous resource. [Review 18641 overall - 1221 in Massachusetts - 2163 of 2022.]
