The site is still in a quiet rural setting in modern New Hampshire. Just after passing a small brook on North Road in Franklin you will come across the historical marker, there is no other signage. The house is on one side of the road and a small parking area with porta-potty is on the opposite side of the street. The site is open Saturdays and Sundays 09:00-5:00 during the summer.
