With professional ease and enthusiasm, the Wright’s will take you on a tour that gives a glimpse of Victorian culture and shares the history of their home, the Castle. This beautiful home, an 1898 high style Queen Anne home originally built for stock breeder D. H. Van Dolah, boasts a sweeping wrap around porch, three story turret, and five Flemish stepped gables to name just a few of its fine details. Inside, the Wrights will help you explore the home’s highlights, including a three-story free floating staircase, four original white oak fireplaces, numerous decorative art murals, balconies and circular turret rooms.
You’ll also be able to enjoy the Castle’s many gardens wandering on your own, or through a guided tour.
