I'd like to add Baker's Mansion to the list. They do have odd hours so definitely call them beforehand.

A really great day trip would be to the 1000 steps between Huntingon and Mt. Union on Route 22. It is on the left side just after you go over the Mapleton Mountain and parking is right along the road right after the fences that catch the falling rock. It is a great trip...take your time going up and bring something to drink. On a clear day, the views are really nice way up on the top.
