A historic house, $5 a person. Check the website for dates and times they are open, they are closed some random days. The website is nice and simple, but I think appropriate for the Mabry Hazen House.
The grounds look a bit in disarray, however, the staff consists of one person and we took up part of week when the house is normally closed. Inside, it smells the slightest bit musty, but many older homes do. While the rooms were blocked off, being able to move into the room with the extended doorway made it easier to look about.
I enjoyed the fact that everything in the house was actually part of the family's stuff. It wasn't random items just put together so that the house looked a particular way, it was the actual stuff they used. The back of first floor had displays of newspaper articles, letters and photos of the family, but it had obviously aged and looked dated. Of the volunteer projects we were told about that the various houses and museums needed done, this one looked like it would be the most interesting.
