Carter House Museum


	Carter House - 101 High St. SE

The Carter House Museum, a National Register Historic Site, gives visitors a glimpse into the lives of Iowan's of 150 years ago. Built in the 1850's as a "mirror" or double house for the Carter brothers and their families, it is a neoclassic structure of 18 rooms displaying furniture, clothing, and artifacts from the 19th century. An adjoining annex contains military uniforms from the Civil War to modern times as well as tools and farm equipment from before the rise of the machine.

The museum will be open May 23 through September 7, 2009. Our hours are Saturdays 10 to 5, Sundays 1 to 5, and holidays 1 to 5.

An antique jewelry exhibit will be featured in the museum for eight weeks from May 23-July 11, 2009. Special events at the museum include a lavish Christmas open house, an annual appraisal of antiques open to the public, and learning activities for children.

The Carter House Museum is located at the corner of Bridge and High Streets, across from the Clayton County Courthouse.
