This is an absolutely unique museum for the diversity of its exhibits and the architectural beauty of its setting. The tour was wonderfully curated and offered fascinating tidbits about history, art, architecture, and engineering. There is something for almost every interest. Don't miss this tour! We also learned about several events that the museum is host to that we would definitely come back for.

Just across the river Chenango, from the Greyhound Line Bus Station where we got out of the bus upon our arrival in Binghampton, in Main Street is located this beautiful museum.There is a lot of fun here, interesting and educational things. We learned something about the Binghampton's local history in the Timeclock Exhibit. There is also a carriage house theater where You can see some classic movie. Beside this last one, we made a walk through a vintage barber shop .On the walls were hung, the vast collection of african masks and the sculptures on the tables and appropriate columns.In fact, that is a really eclectic museum, and in the house that hosts all these interesting things,were made the first time-recording clocks, from what later became the famous IBM.Small, but amazingly great museum.

What a great home. The woodwork and the architectural detail is amazing!! The stained glass windows are gorgeous, and the display of all the Time recorders through the years is pretty neat to see! Definitely check this museum out .

This is a place with a beautiful art gallery area on two floors. I have seen old and modern styles there and always learn something new about the history of this place. Highly recommend a tour for the full story.

The tour is interesting, not very long. My son asked tons of questions and seemed interested. Would recommended

This is a gem of a historic house, lovingly restored. What makes the experience even more delightful is the intimate nature of the visit: we had a guided tour by Eric, whose enthusiasm for the house, and its history, was the icing on the proverbial cake. The current owner has a huge collection of African art in the basement, in the process of being catalogued. Also not to be missed.

I love the house at 129 Main Street. My dad owned it for many years, He ran a fine arts store and print shop from that location. As a child, I was fascinated by the "old" things in the house... the hand carved woodworking throughout, the beautiful stained glass windows, lovely fireplaces throughout, etc.I'm so grateful that the new owner has restored it to it's former glory. I was privileged to visit a couple of summers ago and was NOT disappointed! That house is a gem!

For $7, the guided tour is well worth the money! The architecture, stained glass and woodwork are beautiful and learning about the Bundy time clocks as the precursor of IBM allowed us to walk away with a a large slice of local history. The museum also broadcasts its own radio station and they show movies from local producers in the home's old carriage house (Thurs nights, best to call for the schedule.) Parking is a little tricky, but you can park in the back of the yellow visitor center right next to the museum.

I am in possession of three letters from William McKinley written to George E, Green right after the Republican National convention in Cleveland, OH in 1897. George E Green was one of the original investors and president of Bundy corp. in 1889. It later became the International time Recording Co, then Computing, Tabulating & Recording Corp. then IBM. In 1957, several shares of IBM stock were given to the Norton family. I still have the stock, thanks to George E. Green.I haven't been able to find out why he left them to the family. The Broom Co. Historical society tells me that they have the names of Malcolm D. & Donald D. Norton in their records to whom he gave the stock. I also have his Commandry sword. Malcolm Jr was my late husband.M.

Neat old house with a connection to local business history. Funky and spooky. Friendly staff. Nice space for local artists to display. We will stop in again on First Fridays.
