Kellogg House
A hands-on tour of the historic 1898
Kellogg house. Students learn what life was like in the 1890s by playing
with vintage toys, doing laundry, making butter, dressing up in Victorian
costumes, and participating in other activities.
The Kellogg House was designed by Hiram
Clay Kellogg and was built in 1898. Three generations of Kelloggs lived
in this house before the family donated it to the Museum. The house
was moved to the Museum grounds in 1981 and it is now used for hands-on
educational programs that serve nearly 20,000 school children each year.
