    Beautifully Romantic Victorian Home

    arestotts recommends this,

    This home is a 3-story home in what is known locally as "Victorian Village" - a collection of 5 or 6 houses from the Victorian era that have not been torn down. It is well worth your time and money to visit this home (which is a favorite location locally for weddings) and the adjacent property. The museum has changing exhibits including Victorian Christmas traditions during the winter holidays and Victorian death rituals around Halloween. Be sure to visit Mollie Fontaine's Lounge across the street, which is the home Mr. Fontaine built for his daughter as a wedding gift that has been turned into a lounge. It's a bit pricey, but very worth it for the atmosphere and quality. Mollie Fontaine's Lounge is owned by locally famous restauranteur Karen Carrier Carpenter.
