About Louis E. May Museum

The house was first built in the Italianate Revival style and was later remodeled in the early 1900s. Today it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and sits among grounds that include rose and Victorian gardens maintained by volunteers, plus a replica log structure showing life in the 1860s. Visitors can tour the museum, use the free research library, and attend seasonal community events.
