Heritage House Museum

The exterior of the home is painted gray with maroon trim just as it was in 1919. When major modification was made the long leaf pine woodwork and original lighting fixtures inside were restored, and reproduction period wallpaper and curtains cover the walls and windows of the original two-story six room structure.
