Visiting the Museum

Historic House Tours

Noah Webster’s ca. 1750 house is available to visitors on a walk-in basis seven days a week from 1-4 p.m. Guests may self-guide through the house using our new tablet tour. Docent-guided tours are subject to availability and last approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Tablet tours allow visitors to take a tour at their own pace. Noah Webster’s house consists of four period-furnished rooms in two floors.

We do our best to accommodate everyone. The second story of the historic house is not handicapped accessible, but a visitor may use a tablet to learn about the second floor. In addition, the tablet tour offers closed captioning for the deaf and hard of hearing, as well as a Spanish translation. Seating during the tour is available upon request. We also offer hands-on opportunities for those with low vision or blindness. Please let our Visitor Services Associate know if you need special accommodations.

Private Tours

Private tours are available at various hours by scheduling in advance. Please see Adult & Family Programs or School & Youth Programs for more information.
