Galpin Residence

TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR RENOVATION

Built in 1846, the Galpin Residence was the home of Dr. Leman Galpin, the attending physician at the birth of Thomas A. Edison. Constructed in a Greek Revival style, the house speaks to the influx of settlers to the Milan area from the East. It was the first building acquired by the Museum in 1955, and remains the main exhibit hall for the campus.

Exhibits include the newly renovated Milan Canal exhibition where the amazing history of the canal is shown through video, scale models and updated dislpays.

"Dazzling!", "The best collection I've seen!", are comments by visitors to the comprehensive Mowry Glass wing. With well over 1,500 pieces, the Mowry personal collection includes examples of all major types of American and European glass. Over 30 pieces of modern work by Dominick Labino, are also featured. The Mowry gift of pattern glass include hundreds of patterns from the 19th and 20th centuries.

The second floor displays the temporary exhibit, Quilted Treasures that features the rarly seen quilts from the stored collection.
