About

Step inside the beautifully restored Cox House and explore at your own pace. 

When you arrive, we’ll give you a brief introduction and a printed guide to help you move from room to room and experience what Victorian-era living looked like.

This summer, we’re also featuring Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence on the main floor, a Smithsonian poster exhibit that explores the women’s suffrage movement and connects it to local history through the life of Lillien Cox Gault.

  • Admission is free. Free-will donations are gratefully accepted and help us care for this beautiful historic home.
  • No reservations needed.

Please note: The Cox House is not fully accessible. There are steps and uneven ground.

Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery. This project received support from the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative.
