Do note that the historic house is closed due to Covid restrictions. Did I mention it was free? Bonus! I believe we spent a little over an hour there. Masks are required for the unvaccinated and optional for vaccinated folks. Use your discretion. The staff there is helpful and courteous. We probably enjoyed the car & carriage museum the most.

    Loved my visit of the Bayernhof Museum. I especially recommend this tour to music lovers and antiques lovers, but I think everyone will find something interesting on this tour. The house is full of interesting antiques and collections. I wish I had more time to study some of these. My favorite part of the tour was the descriptions and playing of the music boxes. The tour tries to balance story telling with music box playing with a "house tour." See more..
