Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Betsy & Tacy's House Tours & Gift Shop are two structures opposite of each other that were the childhood homes of Maud Palmer Hart and Frances “Bick” Kenney, two best friends who later chronicled their childhood in the children’s Betsy-Tacy book series. Betsy’s house is furnished as a museum that exactly resembles how it was when her family lived there in the late 1800s and will take visitors back in time with its period furniture and decor. Tacy’s house is an interpretive center and gift shop that has many artifacts on display such as photographs, scrapbooks, manuscripts, and more.
