Eastern Indiana Experience


 

Dr. James Ford Historic HomeA restored 1870s doctor's home and practice at 177 West Hill Street in Wabash, Indiana--is open to the public. The home opened for the first time during Wabash's celebration of the 125th Anniversary of becoming the First Electrically Lighted City in the World, March 31-April 2, 2005. We received more than 600 visitors from Wabash County, Indiana, and afar during these three days.

The interior of the Historic Home is now open for visitors every Saturday and Sunday from 1pm-5pm. The cost of admission is $3 for adults and $2 for 15 and under. We are happy to receive group visits at other times by appointment. Appointments may be made by calling (260) 563-8686.

Work on the gardens--including grape arbors, a small orchard, and other period plantings inspired by Dr. Ford's letters and horticulture newspaper columns--continues, and the entire property will be ready for visitors in early summer.
