The McFaddin-Ward House was built in 1905-1906 in the striking and distinctive Beaux-Arts Colonial style. The building and its furnishings reflect the lifestyle of the prominent family which lived in the house for seventy-five years.
The museum features volunteer docent-led tours of the home, year-round events, a carriage house, and gardens.
