Thanks everyone for the fun and fabulous week beginning to tour historic mid century house museums together. We started this week with 59 house museums on our epic list — and with your help, our list has continued to grow. Thank you, and keep the tips coming! We counted, and so far we have done stories on 13 of the houses on our list (above). Moving forward, we’ll aim to cover another new/old historic house museum every week or so until we make it through the list. (We have some amazing stories already in the queue!) Maybe we’ll even visit a few of the houses in person. If you do — we’d love to hear all about it.
