The Hermitage

The Hermitage is a residential house from the late 1800s in Indiana with architectural features typical of that period. The building preserves original details in its interior rooms and exterior structure.

The house was built in the 1890s and later recognized as an important historic structure. Its construction reflects building techniques and residential design trends that were standard in wealthy American households at that time.

The house shows how wealthy people in Indiana lived and decorated their homes during the industrial boom of the late 1800s. The rooms and their furnishings reflect the tastes and daily habits of that era.

Access to the house is through guided tours held on certain weekdays at set times. Visitors should check current opening hours beforehand and allow enough time for a thorough visit.

The house contains many handcrafted details and specialized building materials that are hard to find today. These elements show how different residential construction was in wealthy areas more than 100 years ago.
