About Burroughs Home

The Frank R. Burroughs Museum occupies a historic house on Main Avenue in Ritzville. The home dates to the late 1800s and was updated in the early 1900s, when electric power arrived in town. Many objects inside are period pieces that belonged to the house from its early years, and visitors can see a collection of vintage clothing and original furnishings. The house is one of several stops that the local museum group highlights alongside its railroad depot and a downtown walking tour. A 3D virtual tour of the home is also offered online.
