Mann House

Built in 1883, the bright yellow clapboard and green trim Victorian residence was the home for the progressive Mann Family. Daniel and Ellen Mann valued education and encouraged their two daughters, Mary Ida and Jessie, to attend school and college at a time when only 10% of the American population had high school diplomas. The Mann sisters went on to break barriers in their careers, travel the world, and advocate for their community. Today, the historic Mann House looks and feels as if Mary Ida and Jessie Ellen just stepped out for a moment. All their belongings - from grandmother’s horsehair furniture to the family’s extensive library to the clothes in the closets – tell the stories of the independent, self-sufficient, forward-thinking women who lived in the home from 1883 to 1969.

The grounds and carriage house are accessible to those with a mobility challenge. The historic house is not accessible to those unable to use stairs.

Pets accompanied by and under the control of their human friends are welcomed on the grounds of this site. Pets may not enter any building.
