Cameron House is in the heart of Old Town and you will see and hear people passing by often. Tourists often linger and sit on our bench in front of the home (Cameron House is also featured on some local tours). While Old Town get's pretty quiet by 11P, the master bedroom may hear the occasional laughter and conversation of the errant passerby.
