Loved this little house. From the outside it doesnt look like much but once you see the inside and hear the docent telling the history of the house you realize it is so much more than it appears, Crazy to think people lived there let alone raising 11 kids there. Rumor has it there is a ghost of the little girl still there, which just adds to the allure of the place. I love how the house was unknowingly preserved, people didnt even realize what a gem they had. The boats carved in the sides of the house added charm.
The place has very limited hours (Friday 1 to 3 pm I think). The rather small house stands by the main street and has a small parking/pullover area.
We were lucky to stumble upon this while exploring the island and were able to meet the owners and learn the special story of this house. It is a true treasure and we are very fortunate that the private owners are so committed to historic preservation. This is a must-stop on Chincoteague.
The house has been renovated well keeping authenticity in mind. A tour in this small house is a step back in time.
We really stumbled upon this house, but it happened to be open when we drove by. It was interesting to hear some Chincoteague history and to drive to it's original site. The carved boats on the outside were amazing to see. The lady who was there was very informative and was glad to share stories and answer questions.
This is a tiny house on Main Street. It is basically a pull over, read the sign and take a photo stop. Not much else to do here.
I love history and this place is a little piece that takes minutes to check out. Been coming for years and I love that this small home has been set up to see.
Great little piece of history and the owners are very welcoming to visitors and know a lot of the history surrounding the house and its previous owners! Great find for us.
Go on the one day they are open for the tour. It is a 1 room, 2 floor hues but the volunteer organization that runs it for donations are wonderful interpreters. A Girl Scout gold Award put them back on the map. A wonderful connection to the early history of the island. We donated more than ordinarily we do other places.
This old house is only open on Fridays from 1pm until 3pm. Very worth checking out. The lady that was there, was very knowledgeable about the house and very happy to tell the story over and over when new people came in.
