There are five exhibits to visit and they are creating two additional Erie related exhibits. We were most impressed the installation of the Frank Lloyd Wright San Francisco Office in a custom built building. There were a couple of Wright's cars to see. He had a great interest in cars which I was not aware of. There were also several galleries' of military artifacts honoring veterans and a mansion that we did not visit due to physical limitations of our friend. There is an admission cost to enter with a discount for seniors.

Having grown up in Erie, I had visited the original Erie museum years ago. It was beautiful, but blah and not memorable. Now redone as the Hagen History Center, what a difference! The extent to which they have gone to tell the story of Erie and it's history is really amazing. The individual storylines were compelling along with the historical items which added to the experience. The The Watson-Curtze mansion is magnificent. The detail in the structure, both inside and out, are testament to the craftsmen that built the home. The curated personal items offer a glimpse of what life was like at the turn of the century. Of particular interest for us, was the actual office of Frank Lloyd Wright. What an awesome acquisition of this great American architect. His foresight and designs are truly timeless. The Wood-Morrison House also provided Erie's unique contribution to our Military history. The entire Center is very well done and worth spending a couple of hours here.

Me and my grandmother used to visit this location every couple of months when I was younger. We recently decided that we would check it out again as it had been 3 to 4 years since last visiting. It was an amazing idea as we were stunned to see the improvement of the inside buildings surrounding the mansion! Welcoming environment, lovely interior, and precise information on Erie's history. The Watson-Curtze Mansion has always held a special place in my heart and I'm glad the Hagen History Center has used it's beauty to exhibit and educate!

Went the week between Christmas and New Years. What beautiful Christmas decorations in the Watson Curtze Mansion. The Hagen History Center had so many interesting historical facts about the city of Erie and its heritage. Also enjoyed the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit. Will definitely return!!

Beautiful Christmas decorations, awesome woodwork & fireplaces in the Watson Curtze Mansion. The Wood-Morris House was full of historic information about Erie that I never knew. The gift shop had many affordable items to share with family &/or friends.

Wow! What a surprising delight this center was. Essentially, three distinct settings, this facility gave a broad overview of various aspects of Erie history. The first building, which included an unexpected reconstruction of Frank Lloyd Wright's San Francisco office with accompanying artifacts and information, also featured a well done presentation of Erie's evolution from Native Americans through the influx of immigrants during the city's growth. The second building highlighted Erie's maritime and military history up to recent years. The crown jewel was clearly the well‐appointed, well-preserved Victorian Era mansion. The various volunteers stationed throughout the facility provided intriguing insights without being intrusive. This allowed for a nicely self-paced exploration of all that was offered, supplemented with details as requested. This is a very worthwhile stop!

First time here, really wondered why it took us so long! The Frank Lloyd Wright office is a must for any FLW enthusiast. Super cool. The house was beautiful and going through it at Christmas season was awesome. Jan and Tom, a couple in different parts of the tour were so much fun and we really enjoyed their personalities and knowledge. They are worth the visit alone. Also the man in the main house was great too, never got his name. Great experience, wonderful local museum.

This tour provided me with a lot of historical knowledge I was not aware of about Erie. Our tour guide Adam Macrino was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and upbeat when speaking and answering questions. Thanks Adam

I have visited this place numerous times growing up, for the first time as a school field trip over 50 years ago when it was the Erie Museum. I never forgot everything I saw there and was impressed with the planetarium behind the house in what I think was the carriage house; unfortunately the planetarium relocated to the Behrend Campus of Penn State, but I think Erie could support 2 planetariums if the carriage house were again to serve as one. The house as it is now is fine as a period house, but I think more could be done in the way of acquiring more period furnishings, installing front doors more in keeping with the style of the house, and perhaps even putting the antique kitchen to use with occasional cooking demonstrations by local chefs/cooks and then serving the food in the dining room. There used to be a model train exhibit in the basement; perhaps an elaboration of that exhibit made permanent could be placed in the ballroom on the top floor if it isn't going to be used for various social functions in Erie.

Very interesting area; one regards Frank Lloyd Wright, another is on the Erie Canal, another regards history of war & local soldiers. The Watson-Curtze Museum is also a part of this Center & is a beautiful building. On the second floor, take note of the difference in the woodwork in the bedrooms of the Dad, Mom, and daughter.
