Either before or after you visit the Cape Blanco Lighthouse, you might want to see the Hughes Historic House. When I went through the house with my wife, I was reminded of certain older homes I had seen in my childhood and up to my teen years. Many of the building and woodworking styles were similar. While this was built... More

Manned and maintained by volunteers, the house is impeccably kept both inside and out. It has been equipped as best as possible with period furnishings and actual items once owned by the Hughes family. A guided tour gives you a history and explaination of the home's interior and history and then you can roam at your leisure through the home... More

Its just off the road to Cape Blanco. Restored and gives an historic view to life on the coast 100 years ago.

This is a fun house to tour through. For the era it was built, it was quite modern. The tour guide was very friendly and informative.

This place is beautiful!! Sitting on a bluff overlooking the river & within hiking distance to the ocean - it is such a gem!! Decorated just as it was originally - the house & furnishings are a step back in time. If you enjoy historically correct experiences - this is the place to visit. It is manned by knowledgable volunteers.... More

care takers had alot of knowlege of the history of the house and had cute stories. it was a little musty inside and steep stairs but it was well decorated and most everything was original from that time.

A fully (though not originally) furnished 1891 home of Irish immigrants/settlers/farmers on Cape Blanco. While the house was fascinating, the full history of the Hughes' family (particularly why a couple from County Mayo who met in Boston ended up where they did) remains a mystery, despite two charming and helpful docents. Someone needs to give the Cape Blanco Historical Society... More

It was interesting to see how an Irish family could arrive with nothing and start a business that allowed them to build a house with all the latest luxuries in the middle of nowhere. The living history sketch was very well done

Our tour guide was very friendly and nice. His wife was a doll! They made a cute pair! The house itself does not have very many original furniture pieces but it was still interesting to see.
