Kelton House Museum and Garden, Victorian house museum in Discovery District, Columbus, United States.
The Kelton House Museum and Garden features a Greek Revival and Italianate architectural design with original furnishings from the nineteenth century.
Built in 1852, the residence served as a stop on the Underground Railroad where Fernando and Sophia Kelton provided shelter to individuals escaping slavery.
The museum maintains exhibits that display Victorian-era furniture, decorative arts, and period rooms that illustrate daily life in nineteenth-century Columbus.
The museum offers guided tours that explore both interior rooms filled with authentic Kelton family items and exterior gardens with period-appropriate plants.
Grace Bird Kelton, the last family resident until 1975, worked as one of the first interior decorators in America and consulted on White House renovations.
