Step back in time and experience the Victorian era with a visit to the Cox House.

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.

Summer 2026, 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.
