Additional Description: Inside the main exhibition building. The information/map panel reads: This house stood on the southeast corner of New and Smith Roads. Before beind donated by the Ransom oaks Development Corporation this house sat vacant for several years.

In 1973, it was moved across Smith Road to the Museum's original site. The house's modest size and saltbox style (unusual for this area) made it of interest to the Museum. It moved to the Museum's current home in the 1980s.

In 2000, we completed interior renovations, bringing this house back to the 1860s, reflecting how rural Amherst residents lived during the Civil War Era.
