Brick House Museum
A visit to the Brick House Museum will transport visitors back to an authentic depiction of what a farm looked like in the 1830s.

The house was refurbished in 1830, which is why visitors will see an added wing, a genuine one-room schoolhouse, a barn, an outdoor area, along with original Chippendale furnishings.
