In 1964, Debs' residence became a museum owned by the foundation. It was opened as a museum by the foundation in 1965, and the foundation "has carefully restored the interior and acquired many of the memorabilia and furniture of Gene Debs and his wife, Kate." The house became a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
