This beautifully restored octagon house was build in 1856 and boasts a long and very interesting history. What started out as a home for a local farmer and his family evolved through the years into a two-family home and eventually into the tastefully and meticulously decorated museum it is today. Guided tours of the home are offered each Sunday from 1 to 5PM - donations cheerfully accepted - and visitors are taken through the building from the root cellar to the cupola, which offers a splendid view of the rolling hills of Camillus.
