Cox House Summer Tours

June 6 @ 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
A historic Victorian-style house with ornate trim and tower stands on a lawn with trees under a clear blue sky. White text reads: "Self-guided tours, Cox House.

Step inside the beautifully restored E. St. Julien Cox House and explore at your own pace. No reservations needed.

When you arrive, we’ll give you a brief introduction and a printed guide to help you move from room to room and experience what Victorian-era living looked like.

This summer, we’re also featuring Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence on the main floor, a Smithsonian poster exhibit that explores the women’s suffrage movement and connects it to local history through the life of Lillien Cox Gault.

Admission is free. Free-will donations are gratefully accepted and help us care for this beautiful historic home. Thank you!

Please note: The Cox House is not fully accessible. There are steps and uneven ground.


Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery. This project received support from the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative.

Text graphic with a thin, gradient border. The main text reads "Because of Her Story." Below is the Smithsonian logo and the word "Smithsonian" in gray font. Visit the historic Cox House for more inspiring stories. The background is white.
