 Tour Home 

As you descend the staircase from the third floor the eye is drawn to the 25 foot long hanging chandelier with its brass, simulated jewel encrusted, glass-globed, two-part fixture. The staircase with its iron frame and railings inlaid with the initials JBW on a sheet copper shield sets off the stairwell as a whole. This completes the virtual tour of our community museum. We hope it will help entice you to come for a real visit. Come take a look in person and learn of the many activities of the Douglas County Historical Society.
