Having grown up in the shadow of the Sargent House Museum, it took me many, many years to finally visit. The guides are knowledgable and you can see the house and it's grandeur - while someone faded, you can envision another time easilty. It's not huge and your visit will be 30-45 minutes, but very worthwhile. More

The tour guide was superb, very informative. I would say the historical stories could make for a great tv/movie special on HBO! More

Exceptionally beautiful Georgian house with outstanding carvings and exquisite staircase. Very interesting story of Judith Sargent Murray and women's rights. Very tragic life. Beautiful paintings and work by John Singer Sargent as young boy. Definitely worth a visit. Nice place to sit outside and enjoy a snack, and watch the bustle of Main Street and see the harbor. More
