Regarding Grier-Musser House. The house was acquired in 1984 by Dr. Anna Krieger, a retired physician and her daughters, Susan and Nancy, who established it as a museum in honor of Dr. Krieger’s mother, Anna Grier Musser. Throughout the house are many of her heirlooms, including watercolor paintings, Haviland china and clothing from the 19th Century. The family’s collection of antiques spans three generations, and countless items have been added. The house has colorful Victorian stained-glass windows, and a wood-burning cooking stove in the kitchen. Electricity was installed in 1879, but the gas lamps in the house were retained.

Also see . . . Grier Musser Museum. The museum is a turn-of-the century historic Queen Anne house which displays fascinating antique collections in monthly holiday exhibits throughout the year. Open Wednesday thru Saturday, advance reservations required. (Submitted on August 8, 2023.)
