Provided by YP.comThe $6 dollar fee means your messed over. You get to see an old house that is sad to say is in horrible shape. It looks pretty from the outside but has not been redone for thirty years. The Oshkosh Public museum and The Paine Art Center are better examples and are maintained. The tour guide, Mrs. Adams did not really know much about the house. I was disappointed.
