If These Walls Could Talk
The Deere-Wiman House walls have been witness to technological and mechanical changes for nearly 150 years. From customized, practical installations to new and marvelous innovations, they have seen it all. Join Jan Stoffer, Director of Operations & Administration, on a guided experience through rooms and corridors rarely seen by the public. Guests on the tour will gain a better understanding of the home's utility modification over time and how they reflect the life of a family of early adapters at the turn of the last century. Participants should wear comfortable shoes, be prepared to climb stairs and ramps, and bring their curiosity. Post-tour dessert included. Duration 90 minutes. Space is limited to 16 people. Cost $25.

Enjoy a guided experience through rooms and corridors rarely seen by the public and see the evolution of the Deere-Wiman House's mechanical systems.
