Victorian Home & Carriage House

Featuring:

• Dover, OH
• J.E. Reeves Victorian Home -

  Return to the elegance of the late 19th century by visiting the Reeves Victorian Home and its adjoining Carriage House Museum, located in Dover, Ohio. This opulent mansion, the former residence of prominent

  Dover industrialist, Jeremiah E. Reeves, is owned and operated by the Dover Historical Society. The 17 room Victorian home, topped by a third floor ballroom, has been carefully restored by the Society to its original turn-of-the-century splendor and features the unique treasures of the original furniture and antiques that were the property of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah E. Reeves, arranged as they would have been 100 years ago. These beautiful family furnishings can be viewed as guests take a guided room by room tour of the home.

• Warther Museum and Gardens -

  Explore the Ernest Warther Museum, known for its famous collection of buttons, which is run by third and fourth generation family members. The mission is to share, educate, and delight visitors with the works compiled and created by both Ernest and Frieda Warther to invoke passion, determination, and admiration for the beauty of their art. Step back in time and see how Mooney and his wife Frieda lived and raised their family of five children in the home built by themselves in 1910. Over 73, 000 buttons in various quilt and geometric patterns hang within the walls of the modest but delightful “Button House.”
