TSCM is excited to announce our latest exhibit: The Extended Family. 

Victorian households consisted of more than just the main nuclear family who lived in them. This exhibit will explore the lives of some of the lesser known family members who lived in the Cottage, as well as lives of some of their servants and pets.

This exhibit is included in our General History Tours available Tuesday through Sunday at 1pm & 3pm.
