The Ard Godfrey House is the oldest remaining frame house in the city. The house has been impeccably restored by The Woman’s Club and is filled with furnishings and household artifacts authentic to the 1850s–some original to the Godfrey family, including the walnut baby cradle and the Chickering rosewood piano that graces the parlor. Volunteers and interns dressed in 1850s period costumes give tours of the one and a half story house.
