Alexander W. Livingston was the first to develop a commerically stable tomato crop. (This is why Reynoldsburg calls itself the Birthplace of the Tomato.) The house has been restored to its late-1800s condition. It is owned by the city of Reynoldsburg and is used as a museum and community meeting place. During the summer there are frequent events such as concerts and ice cream socials.
