Lovingly restored and open for tours, the mansion is lushly appointed with period furnishings, Tiffany lamps and Rodin sculptures. At the Elkhart County Historical Museum, a blacksmith shop, looms and a Civil War drum are among the 20,000 artifacts that help chronicle our pioneering and settlement era from the 1800s to early 1900s.
