Although it cannot be termed a mansion, Kimball House Museum is a beautiful and lavish example of Queen Anne architecture which shows off the resplendence of the upper-middle class. The central tower is surrounded on both sides by turrets. The windows of the house are made from stained glass and there is beautiful walnut woodwork in different parts of the house. This 14-room house, built in 1886 was home to Dr. Arthur Kimball, the first of three generations of doctors who blessed the local community. The house was turned into a museum when, after the death of the third Dr. Kimball, the family donated the house to community. Today, the museum contains several intriguing exhibits.
