The Underhill home has remained a museum to this day. It is now the property of the Idaho Springs Historical Society and maintained by them. The home is exactly as it was when the Underhills occupied it. The garden and courtyard in the rear of the home have been redone. It is a beautiful garden with amenities for entertaining and a water fountain that provides great pleasure to all enjoying the garden.
