  Best if you're in the area, but this place opened on Memorial Day of 2013. Through the tireless work, research, blood, sweat and tears of "Back Street Mary" (her admission, due to so many Mary's in these parts and so as to differentiate) plus other town historians and helpers, Gen. Morse's house is now open to the public view. It is small, so call first for times open. There was a bakesale the opening day and they can refer you to a local historic church and cemetery to also take in. Mary told us lots of stories--the soap opera kind--of the local relatives and inhabitants of the original house's owner. I'm glad to see houses like this become museums so that local history and color are not lost. Google the directions--you'll need them, thinking there can't possibly be a museum here in betwixt the large farms. No bathroom/no wheelchair access.
