The home was the center of a plantation, and is now in the center of town. It seems small on the outside, but was quite large once you got inside. Many original items and artifacts from Helen Keller's life remain intact in the home.
Madeleine in the garden next to a statue of a little girl reading a Braille book.
The water pump where Helen first discovered how to communicate with other people. She was seven years old when this happened. By the end of that day, she had learned 60 words.
There were a couple pieces of machinery in the back yard - a grindstone and some sort of grinding implement. They were semi functioning, and the kids got a kick out of turning the cranks.
