Review:

William Henry Kelley, his wife Elizabeth and their four children occupied this house in the latter half of the 19th century. It has an ocean view and period furniture dating back to the late 1800s. The three upstairs rooms are furnished and decorated as they were when the Kelleys lived there. The story of the Frolic shipwreck, the most significant on the west coast, is told here. Other exhibits at the Kelley House Museum include 'Then and Now' photographs and the history of the local Native Americans. Guided tours of the museum and the town of Mendocino are available. Alternatively, visitors can rent a tablet and do a self-guided tour.
