NYFE Summary

The Tredwell family and the Irish servants who worked for them occupied this house for nearly a century. Many family furnishings and possessions stayed with the building. The museum can therefore show domestic life through objects connected with the people who used the rooms.

Period rooms include the family’s living spaces and the areas where household work took place. The garden is also part of the visit.
