I'll do this kind of tours. The docents are very knowledgeable and the house has been nicely restore and is well kept. Not every furniture or item is original from the house but it's from that time line and it adds to your imagination while they are telling you the story of the family that lived there. I went on a Sunday and it was just me and another person in the tour. No need to call to reserve beforehand unless you have a larger group. Parking available. Cost it's 10$ per person. You can take pictures but they ask to keep at one per room.

Really loved the Meux Home Museum!! Extremely well preserved and presented. Each room was a ton of variety, tons of interesting items and clothing and history. Both guides (bottom and top floors) were informative and nice, and everyone was really enthused. I must say that the main guy - not a tour guide but the guy who seemed like he was in charge at the front desk - was very off-putting, that would be my one minor irk, but luckily he wasn't the guide. We got to learn about the family, walk around the outside, and see everything - even learned about the old trolley system, I wish that still existed. I actually grew up in a house like this so in some ways it was almost like returning to my childhood memories. Great historical house!

I've lived in Fresno/Clovis almost my entire life, I was born here, raised here, spent 40 of my 42 years here and last night was my very first tour through the Meux Home Museum. We did a night tour which was awesome and a little spooky. All of the docents were super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about every last minute detail of the house. Stepping through the threshold was like walking into a time capsule, they did such an amazing job restoring the house to its former glory. We will definitely be back for a day time tour soon! I highly recommend it to one and all if you want to take a trip back in time and experience some extremely rich Fresno history.

I read this house is 100% original, which is rare. The story of the guy who lived here is very interesting. It's a shame it's only open for 3 hours, 3 days a week. Would love to have seen the inside, but until our schedule didn't allow it.

Incredible museum in fresno!!! Our tour guide, Rene, along with the rest of the staff did an amazing job taking us back in time with historical costumes and detailed stories and information from the Guilded Age. Make sure you stop by on the weekend and add this beauty to your Fresno to do list!
