Welcome to the Bush House Museum, an Italianate Victorian residence constructed by pioneer businessman Asahel Bush II in 1877-78. Home to members of the influential Bush family until 1953, the Museum preserves an extensive collection of historic fittings and furnishings, including original wallpapers and ornate marble fireplaces. The Museum is located on the grounds of Bush's Pasture Park, once the family estate, now home to a fine collection of vintage roses, an 1882 greenhouse, and a historic barn building that has been transformed into a public arts center.
