We wanted desperately to see this place, but they keep the oddest hours, and don't post them. Too bad.

This lovely old Victorian house is a snapshot of the early days of Mendocino. It's furnished in period furnishings and accessories, and the docents are very friendly.

Each room of the Kelley house is filled with antiques. Walking through the house is like walking back in time. We especially enjoyed the kitchen, with its ancient iron stove and assortment of snake oils.

Donated for public enjoyment by the same businessman who rescued much of historic Main Street, Kelley House is locally maintained as a fine small museum that also houses a regional archive of historic documents and photographs and sponsors frequent walking tours and events in the Historic District. Check the website before your visit for updates on current events and attractions.

Liked learning the history of the house and it's nearby surroundings. Also a walking tour of the town was included, however, because of the weather, we toured while inside our motor coach. Was quite interesting.
