“I am a long-time member of the Jane Austen Society of America (JASNA) , have written papers, presented papers and was the West Coast Scholar in 2012...and I really loved the afternoon family spent with you. The house is lovely, the gift shop tasteful and the museum itself excellently curated. The speaker dressed in a naval uniform on such a warm day was amazing...really funny at times and without notes gave a superb overview of Austen's life and family. I was very impressed with the whole event. The tea upstairs (just a cup each as we were running out of time) was wonderful as well. How do I send photos of when we dressed up...that was fun! Thanks for such a Janeite experience! Pauline Beard Portland Oregon..”
“This was a pleasant, if rather threadbare, mostly tourist-oriented. attraction. The new waxworks model of JA is intriguing, but any one of my party of 4 (admittedly 3 if us hold advanced Lit degrees) could have led this general interest tour at least as well and probably better than the staff, who were competent and personable. Nice gift shop, which seemed the main point of the Centre”
