Beautiful Historical Home
Beautiful Victorian home and gardens. Enjoyed our self guided tour, loved the architecture. Great way to spend an hour learning some history of Astoria.

Historical House
This house is more interesting outside than inside. The furnishings are not original but picked to be period accurate. You get tickets in the carriage house and there is a film which does a good job of giving the history of Mr. Flavel and the house.

Well worth the visit
What a great find. We were looking for the Film Museum (thumbs down) and saw this place on the other side of the street. I think we must have spent almost an hour at this venue, first in the carriage house where you buy tickets, then the actual Flavel house. They have a short video on the Flavel family in the carriage house, which is a must see before going to the house. Entering the house, you are greeted by the docent who is very informative. You can find easy parking on the same street as the carriage house rather than closer to the downtown area. This is a great place to visit, especially if you are interested in history. Well worth the cost. They do have a small gift shop in the carriage house with items from Oregon, etc.

Fabulous History Lesson
If touring historic mansions is your interest, you will love Flavel House. It is clean, lovely, and full of history. The architecture is stunning and the use of wood is gorgeous. We enjoyed learning about the family that lived in the Flavel House.

Wonderful Historical Restoration! A must see for history buffs!
Fantastic for history lovers and ghost enthusiasts alike. Beautifully restored! Definitely a fun afternoon on a rainy day. Several museums are in the area some of which are within walking distance from Flavel House.
