“Stuff” – Past Visitor Center Exhibit

You are here: Home / Exhibits / “Stuff” – Past Visitor Center Exhibit
January 6, 2016

The McFaddin-Ward House was built in 1905-1906 in a Beaux-Arts Colonial style. Its furnishings and décor reflected the lifestyle of the family that lived there for seventy-five years. The family collected objects and chose to live with things they liked. This reflected their tastes and the changing trends of the times. Some objects they chose were more classical and others more humorous or trendy.  In this exhibition case we feature some of each of these types.
