As of September 22, 2024, we are no longer offering house tours.
From 2003-2024 our home was occasionally open as part of a fundraiser event designed to benefit the community and/or a non-profit organization; private tours were also conducted "by appointment only."
We have greatly enjoyed sharing our home's history with countless visitors over the past 21 years (in all that time, only twice were we unable to accommodate a tour request) and we cherish the friendships we've made through this unique experience. Those friendships, and the memory of Capt. George Chrisman, will carry on as we continue to care for our "ultimate antique."

For more than 20 years we have enjoyed conducting private "by appointment only" house tours to countless visitors who share our interest in the personal and architectural histories of this old stone house. Although we no longer offer tours, we welcome your emails and look forward to continuing the friendships we've made through this unique experience.
