Mary Seaman Ennis House, Victorian house museum in Goodland, United States
The Mary Seaman Ennis House is a Victorian residential building of wood-frame construction with a brick foundation located in Goodland, Kansas. This two-story structure displays characteristic Queen Anne details including decorative gingerbread trim and a wraparound porch.
Fred Hunt built this residence in 1907, making it one of the first structures in Sherman County to have both electricity and telephone service. These utilities marked the arrival of modern technology in a rural area during the early 1900s.
The house functions as a museum run by the Sherman County Historical Society, displaying how prosperous families lived in the early 1900s. The rooms are furnished as they would have been then, offering insight into daily life and residential practices of that era.
The house is within walking distance of downtown Goodland and relatively easy to find in the residential area. Visitors should check ahead for current access arrangements and any special programs the museum might offer.
From 1939 to 1956, the house served as a funeral home operated by the Bower family, giving the building an unexpected secondary role. It was later sold and eventually transformed into a museum, returning it to its original purpose as a family residence display.
