In this article I make the case for including queer narratives in historic house museums, both because including queer history in public history settings is important in its own right and as a way to invigorate museum interpretations and appeal to wider audiences. I dispel concerns about "outing" historical actors and describe some language and ways of thinking about historical sexuality to assist educators in their interpretation. I then shift into the case study of Glen Burnie, a historic house museum that completely revised its interpretation to center the house's last residents and its preservationists, a gay male couple. The museum's interpretive shift leverages the efforts of both men to create public and private domestic experiences that create an immersive new house tour experience and can be used to create a critique of the portrayal of gender roles and heteronormativity at many historic houses.
