Obviously the best time to visit is between the spring and summer, when some of these houses are open to visitors, who can browse through bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms (closed in winter). On weekends and during the holidays, then it is not uncommon for talent shows to organize folk or you can find a souvenir to take home.
