Meux Home Museum

The Meux Home Museum is a tribute to the beauty of Victorian architecture. This magnificent two-story edifice has artfully composed roofs that thrust skyward from the second story, as do the numerous chimneys. The exterior walls are covered with a variety of textures and decorations including clapboards, shingles, and ornamental floral-like relief work. The large porch is held up by beautifully turned spindles accented with 'gingerbread', and designed to provide protection from the hot valley sun. The architecture blends all these beautiful features resulting in an intriguing historic home that invites visitors of all ages to enjoy its beauty and charm. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 14, 1975. The Victorian Meux Home of Dr. Thomas Meux and his family is rumored to be haunted. Now a museum, the home is the setting for stories locals tell of children’s ghostly laughter coming from the upstairs and doorknobs going missing on several of the doors overnight.
