The building was built in 1854 by John Coffin and his sons, who operated a stagecoach inn and tavern on the site. The museum is a two-story frame structure built in the Greek Revival style, with a central hallway and three rooms on each side.

The museum houses a collection of artifacts and memorabilia related to the stagecoach inn, including original furnishings, photographs, furniture, and other artifacts from the era. The first floor of the museum houses the lobby, the parlor, a kitchen, the barroom and the bedrooms. The second floor, known as the gallery, is home to an extensive collection of artifacts from the Victorian Era.

The museum has been a popular destination for visitors to Manchester since its establishment. In addition to the museum, the grounds of the inn feature outdoor seating, gardens, and a pond.
