Summer is here which means you can visit the Neely Mansion.
An elegant Victorian home of days gone by, Neely Mansion has been lovingly restored to its former glory. Five diverse families once called this their home and each room is a reflection of a family and the time period in which it was occupied. Constructed in 1894 by pioneer Aaron Neely whose family arrived via the Oregon Trail, the Neely Mansion was home to Swiss, Japanese, and Filipino immigrant families. The Hori Furoba Bath House was built in 1930 and recently restored to give visitors a glimpse of Japanese traditions and lifestyle during the ensuing decades. Mary Olson Farm is open Saturdays from June 1- August 31, 2019 from 1PM - 4PM. Suggested Donation: $3
