History at HOME
House museums offer one of the most personal ways to experience history. Unlike traditional museums, these preserved homes allow visitors to step into the spaces where people lived, worked, created, and made decisions that shaped their communities and the nation. From presidential homes and architectural masterpieces to the residences of everyday families, house museums connect us to the human stories behind historical events. They preserve not only artifacts and architecture but also the traditions, values, and lived experiences of earlier generations. By walking through these spaces, visitors gain a deeper appreciation for the people who came before us and the places that continue to tell their stories.
