Morse Samuel F B Historic Site

This was a big disappointment. Even though they reference Samuel Morse, the tour covers the house and interiors of the owners who purchased the home and lived there after the death of Samuel Morse. Visiting during the holiday season (in December) the house is buried with Christmas decorations that blocked the view and enjoyment of the historical mansion. The house looked more like a Christmas village than a historical landmark.
The coverage of Samuel Morse was limited to a room in the reception building which the docent never discussed. If we hadn’t used the restroom we wouldn’t have seen the original art of Samuel Morse or any discussion of his invention. Lucky we at least glimpsed the only interesting section of this site.
I also must add that the grounds around the property may look beautiful in the Spring but don’t waste your time going in Winter when the gardens are desolate. I would hope the Spring would bring out the gardens that the site is known for.
