Dating back to 1820, Ivy Green is a charming white clapboard house that happens to be the birthplace and childhood home of the famous Helen Keller. The home is still decorated with much of its original furnishings, and there are also plenty of exhibits displaying personal items and artifacts from Miss Keller's life, with highlights including her Braille typewriter and her extensive collection of Braille books. Tours of the home are offered Monday through Saturday, and visitors are also welcome to explore the grounds, which feature a gift shop, a fountain, and some herb gardens.
