Greeley House

Greeley House is a two-story timber frame structure with clapboard siding and a gabled roof in Chappaqua. Inside are several rooms including a parlor, dining room, and upstairs bedrooms that reflect the living style of the 1800s.

The building was constructed around 1820 and later became the home of newspaper editor Horace Greeley, who lived here from 1864 to 1872. During his residence he experimented with farming practices on the surrounding land.

The house bears the name of its most famous resident and shows how a prosperous family lived during the 1800s. Visitors can see how rooms were arranged and what everyday objects from that era have been preserved.

The building is located at the intersection of King and Senter Streets and now operates as headquarters for the New Castle Historical Society. Visitors should check opening hours before planning a visit.

This is the last surviving residence of Horace Greeley, since his other two homes were destroyed by fires in the late 1800s. This fact makes the building a particularly important record of his life.
