Adsmore

The Adsmore residence features symmetrical architecture with columns and pediments reflecting the design principles of nineteenth-century Greek Revival construction methods and materials.

Built in 1859 for dry goods merchant John Higgins, the property changed ownership multiple times before John Parker Smith acquired it in 1900.

The property functions as a living history museum, presenting different seasonal displays that showcase the local lifestyle and traditions through authentic furnishings.

Located at 304 North Jefferson Street, the museum conducts guided tours from Thursday to Saturday, featuring the main house, carriage house, and log cabin.

The name Adsmore derives from the numerous structural additions and renovations performed on the building throughout its 150-year existence.
