We visited on a weekday and did the self guided tour. I would suggest bringing headphones so you dont have to hold the tiny speaker to your ear the whole time. The place isnt very big and you can do the whole tour in just under an hour and a half. The house is well taken care of and they do a decent job explaining why things were done the way they were back then. The garden is small and pretty, but the house is what you are there for. Very little information aside from what is online audio tour. All the information about the underground railroad is packed into a small room, they could do a better job spreading that out more. Not for fidgety people with short attention spans, but these things never are.

This truly is a little hidden gem of columbus. Its a historical house perfectly preserved with an absolutely beautiful garden. Theres a self guided tour you can take, or you can have a docent show you around. As a wedding venue, this place is absolutely divine and affordable for a small ceremony and modest reception. Picturesque garden located in the back, charming covered area located inside. All around wonderful.

We recently had our wedding at Kelton House, and we couldnt have asked for a better place. The garden is beautiful, and the carriage house and downstairs rooms felt intimate and cozy. My guests also tell me the tour was great! My only suggestion for brides to be is to tell you wedding party to wear bug spray. Mosquitoes like shady gardens, too. Not Kelton Houses fault, of course!

This place offered a quaint, self guided audio tour. The audio tour was very informative and narrated by several different people so it wasnt monotonous. We learned many new facts about living in an older time period, and the Underground Railroad.

was looking at this place as as possible wedding venue. wouldve worked if we stuck with the small wedding plan. house was really cool though especially the basement area which they had recently held an invent there.

Really nice audio tour of a Victorian era house that was part of the Underground Railroad. Learn tons about life as a Victorian and the Underground Railroad at your own pace. HIGHLY recommend this for tourists.

Intriguing place but I feel the tour couldve been better and the storytelling in the basement couldve been more. I left with more questions.

Very knowledgeable docent. The actress in the reenactment was very talented. A beautiful place.
