Fodor's Review:

This circa-1680 saltbox house was once the home of the 19th-century poet, playwright, and actor John Howard Payne, who wrote the words to "Home Sweet Home." Guided tours lead you through the collections of English ceramics, American furniture, and textiles. The museum is in a historic district, within walking distance of 19th-century windmills, including the Old Hook Mill.
