The dramatic life and times
of Helen Keller are preserved at her birthplace and childhood home,
called Ivy Green. Built in 1820, the home and birthplace cottage
are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Original furnishings
of the Keller family decorate the home and museum, highlighted by hundreds
of Miss Keller's personal mementos, books and gifts from her lifetime
of travel and lectures for the battlement of the world's blind and deaf-blind.
Unfortunately, It was NOT OPEN for tours on this date, so obviously
the two RV Gypsies were disappointed that they could not go inside. |
