I would like to start my review with the tourist guide who actually invited us to visit this place. So, we were roaming around and guide asked us to take a look into that place and history related to it. Since i was visiting from Canada, i had no clue who Stephen Hopkins was but after the tour, I actually read a lot about him and his life experience. This house is a great place to visit if you’re interested to see how people used to live in colonial society. Everything related to Stephen Hopkins is still placed in that house and history is very interesting.

Y'know...I've been to my share of museums, and the long and short of it is this: 1) The less crowded, the better 2) The more hands on, the better 3) The guide, if afforded the opportunity to have one, makes or breaks the whole thing. We got here at 10am (opening) on a scorching hot Saturday, and we were joined by only one other intrepid scholar. Check one in our museum-fun favor. Marjorie (the guide) took us right in. She kept apologizing for the heat, but her warmth and her candor was way more overwhelming. She is a gem and we had a delightful time learning about early Providence. Oh, and she let us carry the water pot...bro, we are PAMPERED with our plumbing and innoculations. Of note: I'm impressed with both this house and John Brown's house up the street for their willingness to engage with the stain of slavery head on in both exhibits. For any nerds like me and my lady out there, this is a fine hour spent in RI. Oh, and it's freaking FREE, so leave a good tip and sign the guestbook... otherwise, the grants stop coming in....sigh.

This is a great place to visit. So much history. Our guide was very knowledgeable. There is no cost to tour the place but they do ask for donations. This house is over 300 years old.

Very interesting history. Friendly and helpful staff made the visit edifying.

It was a nice unexpected tour. We just stopped by enroute to our vacation destination and was offered the tour.Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and good story tellers and shared a lot of interesting tidbits of history we didn't know.

Well worth a visit for the history you will learn.

We had an awesome experience while taking a stroll through Providence's east side. We were offered a tour of the Stephen Hopkins House and were very impressed. Stephen Hopkins, one of the original signers of the declaration of Independence (learned that on the tour!) owned this house on the river before it was moved twice to where it is today. The docent was very friendly and knowledgeable, taking us around the house and showing the beautiful furniture, colonial architecture, and sharing the incredible history associated with the house. I would definitely recommend a visit if you are walking down benefit street.

Currently closed due to covid, which unfortunately wasn't indicated on their website, but it was still worth seeing from the outside and walking around the flower garden etc. Beautiful area near Brown University campus. Maintained very well. Would love to see inside the house at some point. Note it may be difficult to find a parking spot.

The tour was awesome and staff were super friendly. Love the settings.

Closed.

Loved seeing it up close. I wish it would open back up.

Fascinating museum for anyone interested in Rhode Island history

Was looking up on history about my grandfather from the 1770's Stephen Hopkins and the pictures from his past aer amazing I would love to learn more about him

My husband and I were very excited that the house was open for tours last night! It was great learning about the history within the house. All the staff was super nice and very knowledgeable!
