Pluses, there is ample seating and a fireplace and non-soundproof meeting rooms. The library looks much smaller on the outside but the collection is decent. There a convenient dropbox. Facilities are great, staff-created atmosphere is inappropriate for a library.

Peter Whitmer was one of the 8 witlessness to John Smith's finding of the Mormon Plates. A bit off the beaten path, their is a modern reconstruction of Peter Whitmer's cabin with a visitor center next to the cabin that is a great contrast to the log cabin. If can see and walk around the cabin by yourself, but if you want to see the insides, you need to check in to the visitor center and get a docent to give you a tour....

Nice visitor center. Clean bathrooms. But, the best part is the story they have to tell! If what…read morethey are saying about the gold bible is true, then it is the most important message the world has received since the bible. Nice thing, they do not push it on you. They tell you the story, give you a Book of Mormon, and then tell you to find out for yourself. In other words, read the book. It speaks for itself!

I came here on a Saturday for the 2pm tour. They have tours twice a day, on most days of the week,…read moreexcluding Sundays. It's advised to call in advance to make a reservation, but there were several walk-ins when I visited and they were easily accommodated. Admission is $7 and includes the tour. The historical site is operated solely by Reverend Paul, a highly knowledgeable steward who had such a passion for honoring and celebrating the life of Harriet Tubman that he quit his job in Washington, DC and moved to Auburn to run this landmark. Paul was a fantastic guide. He checked everyone in at the start of the tour. If you arrive early, you can wander through the visitor center on your own, which has photos and facts about Tubman, her contemporaries, and other relevant details about the Underground Railroad, abolition, the Civil War, and women's suffrage. Once the tour starts, attendees sit while Paul spends about an hour telling Tubman's life story in great detail, from childhood to old age. Paul's talk is thorough, humorous, and wonderfully educational. He asks for audience participation throughout to keep the group engaged. After the talk, we moved to one of the houses on the property that was open to the public and where Tubman actually lived. Paul shared additional details about the history of the abode. It contained furniture pieces to exemplify what might have been inside the home when Tubman lived there. After the tour, attendees were free to walk the grounds, return to the visitor center, or peek inside the other brick home on the property, which was not open for entrance. I would budget about 2 hours for the experience. Great opportunity to learn about Tubman, a remarkable and legendary figure who shaped our nation's history.
