The 1810 House

The 1810 House is a historic old farm homestead that clearly represents the courage of pioneers who cleared, settled and cultivated the wild forest near the mighty Ohio River.

Visitors come in close contact with the past, instead of through glass panes and roped-off areas, walking the floors where the home’s residents walked for decades. Eight rooms show the various 19th and early 20th century styles of home furnishings as well as clothing and housewares. The 1810 House includes a number of significant “firsts” including the first Franklin stove in the region and the first vineyard in Ohio from the one in Cincinnati in which cuttings were brought to the Kinney farm.

The museum is open May through November Saturdays and Sundays, 2 to 4 p.m., as well as in December for special Christmas displays and at other times by appointment. Phone 740-353-1116.
