The Music Room


Click for Virtual Tour

Step into the music room on your right. Sit in one of the 1870 wing back chairs or recline onto the 1875 Empire Revival sofa and begin to feel history. Look out the windows and imagine the carriages flying down the dirt road. Could John Price be in one of them? Could others trying to escape to freedom be hiding in the cellar?

In this room you will feel the past but participate in the present. If you desire a more upbeat and lively time, sit down at the ‘modern' digital piano or pick up a guitar and play songs from many different eras. Tap your toe to the tunes of the 1898 player organ as it pumps out marches, spirituals, or ragtime. Challenge your partner in a game of chess, cribbage, Chinese checkers, backgammon, or cards. Try your hand at Castle Risk, Scrabble, or win the battle of Gettysburg . But if the past is still haunting you, pick up a book and read about history from the Civil War to the present in books that are new, old, and ancient!
