Kelton House Museum & Garden

Today, Kelton House Museum stands as a snapshot of 19th century life. It is a treasure trove of Victoriana, containing everything from lavishly embellished Victorian silverware to unusual items such as a woven-hair brooch worn by Kelton family members. The Kelton House is the only ‘house museum’ in the city of Columbus,” said Georgeanne Reuter, Kelton House Director. “It is the only place in the city where Columbus history can be seen and felt. We have the same furnishings, plates, silverware, clothing, and books that were used by the actual occupants of the house. This gives the Kelton House a realistic feeling that can not be re-created, as most house museums are.” Reuter says that the house museum concept is very effective in the education of children.
