Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum

Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum is a true gem of Victorian-era architecture. This 62-room mansion, built between 1864 and 1868 for railroad magnate LeGrand Lockwood, is one of the most important examples of the Second Empire style in the United States.

The interiors are resplendent with sumptuousness and rich detailing, and modern for its time features - central heating, gas lighting and a ventilation system - attest to the innovation of the design.

It's a place that transports you back in time to America's Gilded Age, showing the life of the 19th century elite in all its glory.
