The Alger House started as a private residence, became a museum, and today serves as a living tribute to history and community. Political figures, inventors, and cultural icons have all passed through. The tour covers the mansion's architecture, art, family histories, notable guests, and a few mysterious moments from the archives.

Groups are capped at 20 guests to keep it personal. The home is wheelchair accessible, with an elevator to all floors. Admission is free, but you can give any amount you wish to support the nonprofit's programs. Parties of 8 or more can inquire about a private group tour.
