FAQs
Can I park at the museum? Is there on street parking?
There is plenty of two-hour, unmetered parking on the street. There is also a municipal lot behind the house.
Do we need to take a tour or can we just look around?
All visitors to the house receive a guided tour.
Can I take photographs in the museum?
Visitors are welcome to take personal photographs of the exterior of the Gilman Garrison House. Members of the media should visit the press room. Visitors can arrange in advance to request required permission to take interior photographs for personal use. Permission is not guaranteed and cannot be given on arrival, so please contact the site staff well in advance of your visit.
How can I book a group tour? What is the cost?
The cost for a group tour of ten or more is $1 off the regular admission price. Call 603-436-3205 or e-mail the Gilman Garrison House.
Is the museum handicapped accessible?
A tour of any Historic New England property requires a considerable amount of standing and some walking. Folding chairs can be provided for visitors who would like to use them during a tour. To retain its historic fabric and character, the Gilman Garrison House has not been equipped with handicapped accessible ramps, elevators, or chair lifts. We are glad to offer guests a visual tour of the second floor of the museum from the comfort of our reception area. We encourage visitors with concerns to call ahead. We are happy to work with you to make your visit an enjoyable one.
