The living history museum contains eight structures from the Victorian time period that the public can explore on an interactive tour.
The William Perry Mansion was built in 1876 by William Hayes Perry, a wealthy businessman and lumber merchant. It’s the second-largest building found at the museum.
While Victorian houses were being demolished in the 1960s, these eight buildings were able to be saved and moved to Heritage Square in order to help preserve an important part of history.
The Heritage Square History Museum remains a favorite tourist attraction today. Not only can you explore the historical buildings, but they also host annual events such as Community Garden Days, Vintage Fashion Show and Tea, and more.
