I found the house and exhibits interesting . it was well worth the visit . the only problem was his dictionary was at the top of the house and you had to climb several stairs to see it . this could be a problem for older people who are less mobile . entrance is free but we were made aware that we could make a donation which we did .

Be prepared to go back in time & appreciate what it was like to live in this old town house. The lady on reception was very pleasant & helpful & there was so much of interest to see & read about we spent a very pleasant couple of hours reading,learning & enjoying.
The only drawback for us was a small party of primary school children of different ages. The youngest (approx 4-5 years old) of which were not the slightest bit interested & the person in charge had no little or control. They were far too young to appreciate the museum & rather spoiled it for the older ones & other visitors alike. Perhaps there could be a minimum age suggested? We will be visiting again though next time we are in
Lichfield as we thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Shopkeeper David offered a very nice historical chat on both Darwin and Johnson utside the shop, to make up for the stairs my wheelchair finds a bit difficult.
Learned a lot and felt very welcome !
Would recommend a visit to the Cathedral and this museum to anyone wanting to learn about (atleast to a Swedish person) hidden historical gems.
/Petter, a wheelchair foreigner (if there is such a thing) enjoying history and experiences to learn from

You can not visit Litchfield and not visit this place! I just really highly recommend visiting Litchfield! It is such a wonderful place! I call it God's little English paradise!

Though Small, this Museum is very comprehensive and covers many aspects of Samuel Johnson life. There are many interesting artefacts,and the well knowledged staff will help with any question...I live in Lichfield and never tire of visiting this Museum..Situated on the Market Square you can really step back in time..

Having seen his place in London it was very interesting to see his original Lichfield home. Not very big but worth the time spent.

This is very interesting place to learn about Samuel Johnson. It could take you 2to 3hours to take it all in.
