  William Allen White's historic home called Red Rocks is an interesting place steeped in history. It has been restored and they have done a marvelous job in making it appear to be lived in.
  
  I was surprised by the size of the interior; it is much larger than I had anticipated. Some of it is ornate and some of it is rather common.
  
  It has many interesting photographs of famous people, I was surprised to see a photograph of William Allen White and Albert Einstein and it looks like it was taken in the same room where the photograph is displayed among many others.
  
  The artifacts and furniture are well-preserved; it is easy to imagine the White family living there.
  
  In one of the photographs you will see the admission price and hours of operation; I hope that is helpful.
  
  In addition to the home, a visitor center is in the spacious backyard. Moreover an old black Cadillacs is a garage-like structure in the driveway.
  
  Around Christmas time they may have an open house with holiday music and carolers. It is only for one afternoon and only one day. Although that is when I visited, I would have paid the full admission price. Expect to pay full price at other times.
  
  I live in the same neighborhood several blocks away and it is relatively safe. Parking should not be an issue. In addition, William Allen White Elementary School is across the street with a playground if you are bringing younger children along.
