Tour the 18-room Greek Revival historic home which displays everything from the life of a millionaire to the beauty of Tiffin Glass and other fine treasures. Be sure to save a few minutes to take a step outside to view the carriage house with antique fire equipment and horse-drawn wagons. Limited hours; call for appointment.

    Eloquent decorations, wonderful food, deliclious desserts and a visit from Della Laird (Jan Dundore) provided all of the elements needed for a beautiful Saturday afternoon at the Seneca County Museum!  Thanks to all of those who attended our first luncheon and filled all 40 seats!  Thanks also to all of the Seneca County Muesum docents and Seneca County Historical Society members who worked so hard to make this a success!  A special thanks goes to Jan Dundore for playing the convincing part of Della Laird and for giving everyone there a history lesson regarding a very special lady to Tiffin, Ohio!

On February 20th, 1895, Mrs. Della Shawhan married William Laird in the front parlor of the home which one day became the Seneca County Museum.  Even though it was in the dead of winter, the home was decorated with flowers which made it appear like a Spring Day! 
    This impressive wedding gown display features dresses on loan from members of the Seneca County Historical Society a well as dress belonging to the museum.  There is a gown representing each decade from 1860 through 1990. 
    This display will be available for viewing through August, 2012 and it's a must-see for those interested in fashion and period clothing!
